Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour and 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- In a separate bowl, crack 3 large eggs and whisk them until they are fully blended and slightly frothy.
- Add 1/4 cup of almond milk and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the whisked eggs. Continue to whisk until all ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the almond flour while stirring continuously. This will help to prevent lumps from forming. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly, which will help the crepes hold together better while cooking.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for a minute or so.
- Once the skillet is hot, lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet, tilting the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
- Cook the crepe for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the surface looks set. Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula.
- Cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until it is lightly golden and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Once all crepes are cooked, serve them warm with your choice of fillings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of honey.
Tips
- Resting the Batter: Allowing the batter to sit for about 5 minutes not only thickens it but also helps the flavors meld together, resulting in tastier crepes.
- Perfecting the Heat: Make sure your skillet is at the right temperature. If it’s too hot, your crepes might burn; too cool, and they won’t cook properly. Medium heat is ideal for a golden finish.
- Grease Wisely: Use a small amount of oil or cooking spray to lightly grease your skillet before pouring in the batter. This will help prevent sticking and ensure a smooth flip.
- Flipping Technique: When flipping the crepe, use a spatula to gently lift the edges first, then slide it underneath and flip it quickly to avoid tearing.
- Serving Suggestions: Get creative with your fillings! From fresh fruits and yogurt to nut butters and honey, the possibilities are endless. Try a sweet or savory combination to suit your mood!
