Matcha is one of my favorite flavors, and it goes oh-so-very-well with crepes. This French-Japanese fusion delight is a family favorite!
By letting your dough sit in the fridge, you allow the gluten to bind the dough better. This will give you more cohesive crepes. Spelt has less gluten overall than modern wheat varieties, meaning this step is doubly 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.
