Oh crepes. You are magical. You turn leftovers into a new meal and give me a hand held device for consuming nutella.

I was going to make these crêpes into a crepe cake (I did, but I didn’t have enough lemon curd), so I am just sharing the plain crepe recipe with you. To make a crepe cake, gather up your favorite filling (meyer lemon curd for example) and layer crepes and filling til you run out of crepes. Easy peasy.

The only exotic ingredient I call for is Vanilla Bean Paste. I probably should buy this in industrial quantities – like how I need to buy butter and sugar. I highly recommend that you use it and not vanilla extract. Your vanilla flavor packs a bit more punch, plus you get little flecks of vanilla bean.

Easy, sweet crepes for breakfast & dessert. They freeze well, so make a double batch and freeze the extras individually so a crepe is never more than 30 seconds in the microwave away.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
  • 125 grams gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If the batter is thicker than heavy cream, add milk a tablespoon at a time until it is the right consistency.
  2. Let the batter stand for 30 minutes or overnight to let as many air bubbles as possible out.
  3. In a crepe pan, pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan for 8″ crepes. Cook over low heat for about 2 minutes (until the edges start to look dry), flip crepe and cook for about 30 seconds on the second side.
  4. Separate with sheets of parchment if you are not going to use them right away.

      It makes everything better! And it doesn’t change viscosity as much as vanilla extract so you can use it in more things 🙂

    Second that, Adina! Lemon curd is one of my favorite things. What a beautiful idea to sandwich them between crepes. [stomach grumbles] Thank you, Mary Fran!
