Basic Crepes

Crepes – paper thin pancakes – are not as difficult to make as you might think. This recipe produces classic crepes suitable for a wide variety of sweet and savory fillings. It is very important that your pans be absolutely ready (hot) before whisking the batter together.

This Recipe makes 8 crepes. If you would like to make a larger quantity of crepes, please make several small batches of batter rather than attempt to double or triple the recipe: because of the nature of gluten free starches, this batter thickens upon standing.

Ingredients
1 cup Better Batter Gluten Free Flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tbsp. butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat two 8 inch non-stick skillets over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray, or brush with melted butter or oil.

In a medium-large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, water, salt, and melted butter. Whisk in the Better Batter flour until smooth.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter into one preheated pan, swirling well to coat the bottom with a very thin layer of batter.

Cook for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom. The edges will dry and small bubbles will appear on the surface of the batter. Flip the crepe over gently, using a wide spatula.

Repeat process with second pan while you allow the first pan to finish cooking (about 20 seconds). After you have swirled the second pan, lightly shake the crepe from the first pan, to release it from the surface of the pan and turn onto a plate. Cover lightly with a tea towel or second plate, inverted.

Continue to alternate pourings, swirling, and flipping pans until all the batter is used.

    Mixed to receipe these are to thick. I increase liquid by another 1/2 cup. Then it was great!

      Thanks for the feedback! We’ll change the recipe to give a range for liquid!

    Hi Naomi,

    After submitting my question above, I read more about you and your story in the “About Us“ section of this site. What an inspiring story! I will be sure to purchase the Better Batter. I live in Toronto, Canada – where can I purchase your batter here?

    I am anxiously awaiting your reply to my request for help above!!

    Sincerely,
