Crepes are a great tasting pancake that is quick to cook. They’re a new family favorite!
Spelt is advantageous to some because in contains less gluten compared to more modern wheat variants. In more traditional recipes, you can typically get away with not refrigerating your dough. However, gluten in this recipe is what keeps your crepes from tearing. Do not skip the refrigeration step if you care about cohesive crepes.
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.
