Crepes are my favorite French-themed breakfast. They go so fast in my family!
Modern wheat contains more gluten than ancient grains such as spelt. Gluten will prevent your crepes from tearing., which is why it’s important to let your crepes sit in the fridge for an hour first.
Many of these steps can be skipped if you are using a blender. Blend all ingredients until smooth.
This recipe takes practice. Do not be discouraged if your first attempts don’t turn out as planned.
