Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Eggs | 2 |
| Buckwheat flour | 180g |
| All-purpose flour | 100g |
| Whole milk | 250ml |
| Water | 250ml |
| Extra virgin olive oil | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | to taste |
| Butter | to taste |
Instructions:
-
To begin, prepare the base batter for the buckwheat crepes by placing the buckwheat flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the all-purpose flour, sifted to remove any lumps, and half a teaspoon of salt. Mix the dry ingredients together using a wooden spoon.
-
Gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring the mixture to ensure a smooth batter. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated, being careful to avoid any lumps.
-
Once the batter has come together, add the extra virgin olive oil and the two eggs, which should be lightly beaten before adding. Stir everything together until the batter is perfectly smooth.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the batter to rest in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. This resting time will help achieve the perfect texture for your crepes.
-
After the batter has rested, heat a non-stick crepe pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan to grease it lightly.
-
Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of the batter into the center of the pan, swirling it gently to spread the batter evenly across the surface. Let the crepe cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until it develops a golden-brown color.
-
Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula, allowing it to cook for another minute or so on the other side. Once cooked, slide the crepe onto a serving plate.
-
Repeat this process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan with more butter as needed.
-
Once all the crepes are cooked, you can fill them with your favorite toppings or fillings. Savory options like cheese, ham, or sautéed vegetables work wonderfully, or you can even go for a sweet filling such as fresh fruit or chocolate.
These buckwheat crepes are light and flavorful, offering a unique twist on traditional crepes. Perfect for a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they are versatile and can be customized with a variety of delicious fillings to suit your taste. Enjoy them hot and fresh, straight from the pan!
