Crepes are a delicious type of thin type of French pancake. I personally put jam inside mine, then fold into a triangle.
This recipe is fantastic! I found it easier to use than spelt, because einkorn is a “softer” grain. It has better cohesion and texture.
The refrigeration step helps the gluten to form, allowing for crepes that don’t easily tear. It is an important step, and if you care about crepe cohesion, then you shouldn’t skip it.
It is much faster to use a blender. You can add all ingredients immediately into the blender and blend until smooth.
You will make mistakes your first few tries, but do not be intimidated. Crepes are easy once you get the hang of them. 😊
