How to Make Basic Buckwheat Crepes Vegan And Gluten Free

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup buckwheat flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups soy milk (or your preferred milk), 1 tablespoon melted vegan butter (or regular butter), and 1 large egg (omit for vegan option).
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes. This allows the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in more tender crepes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet, tilting to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate as you go.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite sweet or savory fillings.
