Spelt Crepes

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup spelt flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup water
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil (or your favorite cooking oil)
• 1/2 teaspoon butter or 1/2 teaspoon non-stick cooking spray

Recipe

• 1 in a large bowl, whisk the spelt flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, water, and oil to form a very smooth and thin batter. or place in a blender and mix until smooth. best if you can do this the night before - otherwise you can let it sit for 30minutes before baking (although they are still yummy if you cant wait).
• 2 over medium heat, heat an 8-inch frying pan or a few minutes. add the 1/2 teaspoon of butter or coat with cooking spray. you will only need to do this at the start.
• 3 using a dry measuring cup, add a scant 1/4 cup of prepared crepe batter to the frying pan (you may need up to 1/3 cup if using a larger pan). twirl the pan so that the batter covers the bottom of the pan in a thin layer. the first couple of crepes are often a write-off (or snack for the chef).
• 4 the crepe will be ready to flip when it appears slightly dry on top and golden on the bottom (approximately 1 1/2 to 2 minutes). to flip, i usually run a knife around the edge and then use my thumb and forefinger to flip it or slip a rubber spatula beneath. the crepes will only require about 30 seconds of cooking on the other side.
• 5 stack the crepes on a plate as you go. you can keep them warm in a 200 degree f. oven or they are great served at room temperature.
• 6 they are yummy filled with nutella, peanut butter & bananas, plain & sprinkled with powdered sugar or our fave - filled with sautéed cinnamon apples & plain, non-fat greek yogurt.
