WHOLESOME BUCKWHEAT CREPES



Wholesome Buckwheat Crepes image

These gluten-free, lactose-free crepes are not only made 100% with buckwheat, but they use wholesome raw buckwheat groats instead of buckwheat flour, which often has a very strong flavor when not fresh. Soaking the groats before using them develops a lovely texture and a delicious, soft nutty taste. After blending you end up with a smooth batter. These crepes do not crisp up and become golden but they are very pliable and go great with maple syrup, berries, jam, and mashed bananas as filling.

Time 4h15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

⅔ cup raw buckwheat groats
1 ⅓ cups water, to cover
1 egg
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine buckwheat groats with about 1 1/3 cup water in a bowl; allow to soak, draining and rinsing once or twice during soaking, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Rinse and drain groats one final time. Transfer drained groats to a blender with egg, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and 1/2 cup water; blend into a smooth batter. Blend more water into the mixture as needed to reach a smooth, spreadable texture.
  • Lightly grease a skillet and place over medium heat.
  • Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the skillet; lift and tilt the skillet to swirl the batter evenly over the skillet; return to heat.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes. Gently flip the crepe and cook the other side until the crepe is firm in the middle, about 2 minutes more; flip again and cook about 12 seconds. Plate and serve immediately.

Time 4h20m

Yield 6-8 crepes, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup buckwheat groats (raw, not toasted)
1/2 cup water (plus more if necessary)
1 medium egg
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon ground flax seeds (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Soak buckwheat groats in double the amount of water for 4 hours or overnight (you can get away with soaking them for 1 1/2 hours but they`re better after 4 hours of soaking). Rinse them once or twice during soaking if possible.
  • When it comes time to using them, drain and rinse the buckwheat groats very well. Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Preheat a greased skillet on medium heat or almost medium heat. Pour 1/4-1/3 cup batches of crepe mixture in your skillet (do so with the skillet off the heat and swirl mixture around quickly to distribute, then stick it back on the hot stove). Cook for about 2 minutes then flip and cook other side until cooked. Flip a last time for a dozen seconds and serve hot.
