Crepes are a fantastic kind of sweet, thin French pancake. Spread jam on it, then fold into a triangle for best-tasting results.
Einkorn is a fantastic kind of grain to use to make crepes, as it’s structure makes it easy to handle in the pan. The refrigeration step in this recipe is important, because it allows the gluten to develop. This makes the crepe much easier to flip and handle.
A lot of the steps listed can be skipped if you’re using a blender. Blend until smooth.
