How to Make Gluten Free Chestnut Crepes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup chestnut flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter and whisk until fully incorporated.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in the hot skillet.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet and swirl to create an even, thin crepe.
  8. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and the top is set.
  9. Using a spatula, gently loosen the crepe from the pan and flip.
  10. Cook for another 30-45 seconds, or until lightly golden brown on the other side.
  11. Carefully transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  12. For savory crepes, omit the sugar and vanilla extract from the recipe.
