Ingredients
  • 1 cup Buckwheat Flour

  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter or Oil (for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar

Mixing the Batter

Be careful not to overmix. A few small lumps are okay.</p><p>Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes. This allows the buckwheat flour to absorb the liquid and creates a smoother crepe.</p>

Cooking the Crepes

If using a skillet, you may need slightly more batter.</p><p>Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the crepe is set. Flip carefully with a thin spatula.</p><p>Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and keep warm.</p><p>Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on top of each other.</p>

Serving

<p>Serve the crepes immediately with your favorite fillings. Some popular options include:</p><ul><li>Fresh fruit and whipped cream</li><li>Nutella or chocolate sauce</li><li>Jam or preserves</li><li>Savory fillings like ham and cheese, or spinach and mushrooms</li></ul>

    Yes, you can freeze the crepes. Let them cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper in between each crepe. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
  • What if my batter is too thick?

    If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. It should be thin enough to easily spread in the pan.
