Yield 8 crepes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup rice flour (use a finely milled flour)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (can use other oil of choice)
1 1/4 cups soymilk (can use other milk if wished)
2 teaspoons arrowroot or 2 teaspoons tapioca starch
1 pinch salt
oil, for pan frying

Steps:

  • Place the buckwheat flour, rice flour, arrowroot/tapioca and a pinch of salt on a bowl. Make a 'well' in the centre of the flour.
  • Add the coconut oil and a little of the milk, beating well with a wooden spoon.
  • Gradually beat in the remaining milk, drawing the flour in from the sides to make a smooth batter.
  • Heat a little oil in an 18cm/7 inch non-stick frying pan. Pour in just enough batter to coat the base of the pan thinly. Swirl the pan to spread the mixture thinly across the base of the pan.
  • Cook until golden brown, flip and cook the other side.
  • Place cooked crepes onto a plate and using baking paper between cooked crepes to stop them from sticking together.
