Ingredients
- 1 cup Buckwheat flour
- 1.5 cups Non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Neutral cooking oil (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour and salt.
Step 3
Gradually add the non-dairy milk and water, whisking while pouring to avoid lumps. Stir in the prepared flax egg and maple syrup (if using). Mix until you have a smooth, thin batter.
Step 4
Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of neutral cooking oil using a brush or paper towel.
Step 5
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and quickly tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Step 6
Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the crepe carefully using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between crepes.
Step 8
Serve the crepes warm with your choice of sweet or savory fillings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, sautéed vegetables, or hummus.
