Savory and Sweet Buckwheat Crepes 


 These Crepes Come 
From 
The Great New Cookbook  
Simply Sugar and Gluten Free By Amy Green



Let's Make These Crepes



Start With A Great Buckwheat Flour


Add The Liquid and Blend


Roll The Crepe Batter In The Skillet


Finish The Crepe

Buckwheat Crepes
Simply Sugar And Gluten Free
Page 20
Makes 10 to 20 Crepes
1 1/2 cups low fat milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 cup buckwheat flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted plus extra for cooking
Blend the milk, salt and eggs in a blender at medium speed for 15 to 20 seconds until combined.
Add the buckwheat flour and measured melted butter. Mix on high for 1 minute. Refrigerate the batter for 1 hour before cooking the crepes.
Heat a 10 inch crepe pan or a 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. The pan should be hot enough to make the batter lightly sizzle but not to hot that it can't spread. Often the first crepe is used as a gauge the heat. Increase or decrease the heat as needed.
Brush the pan with a thin layer of the extra melted butter. Remove the pan from the heat and hold it downward at a 45 degree angle. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and quickly rotate the pan to evenly distribute the batter. Place the pan back on the heat and cook for about 1 minute until the bottom of the crepe starts to get light golden brown in places. Flip with a wide spatula and cook for about 1 minute more, until light golden brown. Wipe with a clean paper towel before cooking the next crepe and add more butter to the pan before adding more batter. Stack the cooked crepes between sheets of waxed paper if desired, reheat the crepes in the microwave for 10 seconds or wrap in foil and warm in the oven. To freeze the crepes, separate them with wrapped paper and wrap in plastic

Serves 4 Crepes
4 large eggs
1/2 cup egg whites
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter divided
4 (10 inch) Buckwheat Crepes
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 recipe Balsamic Tomatoes (page 59 of the book) I am using plain tomatoes today
1/2 cup baby spinach
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Break the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the water and salt, and pepper to taste. Whisk until frothy. Melt /12 tablespoon butter in the pan.  Add the eggs to the pan and cook slowly, stirring every 30 seconds or so . Remove from the best when done and stir in the remaining, 1/2 tablespoon butter. 
Meanwhile heat a nonstick skillet large enough to lay 1 crepe flat reheat each crepe quickly then divide the scrambled eggs among the 4 crepes, covering only one fourth of each crepe. Add 2 tablespoons cheese. 2 half slices of tomato. and one fourth of the spinach on top of the eggs. Fold each crepe in half and then in fourths. Flip the crepes over and place them back into the pan to heat through and melt the cheese. Once heated through serve immediately.

The Sweet Crepe



Prepare The Filling


Enjoy!
Banana Raisin Dessert Crepes
Simply Sugar & Gluten Free
Serves 2 Crepes
Page 210
1 tablespoons raisins
1 heaping tablespoon walnuts
2 medium bananas, sliced
sprinkle of cinnamon
2 (10 inch) buckwheat crepes
2 scoops Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (page 197 in the Book) "Honey Bunny" had to have (Blue Bell)
In a small microwave safe bowl, cover the raisins with water and microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick 10 inch skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and toast, stirring often, until fragrant, about 5 minute,. Remove from the pan and allow to cool.
Spray the skillet with cooking spray. Add the bananas in a single layer and cook until lightly golden brown.  Flip the bananas.  Drain the raisins and reserve the soaking liquid.  Add the raisins to the pan with 1 tablespoon soaking water.  Sprinkle with cinnamon. The bananas are done when they're soft and the liquid in the pain is syrupy.  Add more soaking liquid, if needed. While the bananas are cooking, use your fingers to crumble the walnuts into small pieces.
Split the banana mixture between the two crepes. Put the bananas in one- fourth of each crepe. Fold the crepes in half,then fold them into quarter circles. Top each crepe with a stoop of ice cream and Walnuts.

  4. Hi Miz Helen! I just shared something similar on our blog as we eat buckwheat galettes (crepes made with buckwheat flour) also at our house. My mom who is from Brittany France grew up making them and so did we growing up. Now my children can pass it on to their children.

  6. I love crepes as well. They look delicious. I just noticed that you are in Dallas, how do you like Texas life? I hear the weather is violent, but my husband and I were thinking of relocating to Austin, and honestly, the weather doesn't appear that bad to me. Seems sunny, hot and beautiful actually.

  7. Hi Elsa,
    I am a native Texan, so of course there is no other place on earth for me, although I have lived in different area's of the country. I am very happy to be here in Texas. It is a great life with great people. You are going to love it. I left you a comment on your blog about the weather. It is not violent here, only up around the Oklahoma border.
