Prep Time

Cook Time

Servings
6-8 crepes
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Tapioca Flour/Starch
  • 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter or Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Mixing the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the tapioca flour, sugar, and salt. Add the milk and eggs, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the melted butter or oil. The batter should be thin and pourable. If it seems too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time.

Resting the Batter (Optional)

For a smoother crepe, let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature. This allows the tapioca flour to fully hydrate.

Cooking the Crepes

Heat a lightly oiled crepe pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan, immediately swirling the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until the edges start to lift and the crepe looks set. Gently flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until lightly golden brown.

Serving

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on top of each other. Serve immediately with your favorite sweet or savory fillings, such as Nutella, fruit, whipped cream, cheese, ham, or vegetables.

FAQ

  • Can I use other types of flour in this recipe?

    This recipe is specifically designed for tapioca flour. Using other flours will result in a different texture and may not be gluten-free.
  • My crepes are sticking to the pan. What can I do?

    Make sure your pan is properly heated and lightly oiled. Use a non-stick pan for best results. If the crepes are still sticking, add a bit more oil to the pan between each crepe.
  • How long can I store the crepes?

    Cooked crepes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
