Instructions
-
Prepare the Butter: Begin by gently melting the butter. You can either do this in the microwave or using a double boiler, whichever you prefer. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the whole milk. Whisk them together until smooth and well-combined. Gradually add the melted butter (which should be warm but not hot) and continue whisking. Add a pinch of salt to the mixture, enhancing the overall flavor.
-
Combine with Rice Flour: Slowly incorporate the rice flour into the wet mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. You should have a smooth batter that is slightly thinner than pancake batter. Once fully combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes. This resting period ensures the crepes will be light and tender.
-
Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick crepe pan or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter, spreading it evenly. Once the pan is hot, pour a small ladle of batter into the center of the pan, tilting the pan gently to spread the batter evenly across the surface.
-
Flip the Crepes: Cook each crepe for about 1 minute on the first side, or until the edges begin to lift slightly from the pan. Using a spatula, carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. The crepes should be golden brown but still soft.
-
Serve the Crepes: Once cooked, transfer the crepes to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly between each crepe. You should have about 8 crepes, depending on the size of your pan.
-
Enjoy Your Crepes: These gluten-free crepes can be served in a variety of ways. You can enjoy them as is, or fill them with your favorite fillings such as fruit, whipped cream, or even a savory filling like cheese and vegetables. The possibilities are endless!
These delicate, gluten-free crepes are perfect for any occasion, offering a light, tender texture that pairs beautifully with a variety of sweet or savory toppings. Whether served as a dessert or a main dish, they are sure to delight!
