Crepes are an amazing kind of pancake that is fast to cook up. They’re a family favorite of ours!
Spelt contains less gluten than modern wheat, which has it’s pros and cons. Some people tolerate grains like spelt better than your typical run-of-the-mill (get it? 😉) wheat. However, gluten is what stops your crepes from tearing. So letting your crepes sit in the fridge is very important.
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.
