I’m a big fan of lemon baked goods. This recipe has a popular one among the fam!
Gluten is the key for making your crepes cohesive. Spelt naturally contains less gluten than modern wheat varieties.This is why letting your dough sit in the fridge is a very important step, to let that gluten develop in the dough.
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.
