Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk (or dairy-free milk)
- 3 medium eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil), softened
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup cassava flour
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the milk, eggs, softened butter, raw honey, cassava flour, and fine sea salt in a blender. Blend until the batter is smooth and frothy, ensuring there are no lumps for a perfect crepe texture.
- Rest Batter: Let the blended batter rest for a few minutes. This allows the cassava flour to fully hydrate and helps create tender crepes.
- Prepare Skillet: Heat a stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons of butter to melt and coat the pan evenly, preventing the crepes from sticking.
- Cook First Side: Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, immediately tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
- Flip Crepe: Cook the crepe until bubbles form on the top surface and the edges start to lift, then carefully flip it. Cook the other side for an additional 20-30 seconds until lightly golden.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter using the same process, adding more butter to the skillet as needed to keep the crepes from sticking and to maintain flavor.
Notes
- Use a stainless steel skillet for the best results, as it heats evenly and helps achieve a delicate crepe texture.
- Letting the batter rest is key to tender crepes and prevents tearing.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out to desired consistency.
- Serve crepes with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or savory fillings.
- Using cassava flour ensures the crepes are gluten free, ideal for gluten-sensitive individuals.
