Crepes
Gluten Free
(Not egg-free)
3/4 cup brown rice flour (rice can be ground into flour in a coffee grinder)
1/2 cup Arrowroot powder
3/4 cup garbanzo (or other non-wheat) flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (Depending on your taste.)
1 teaspoon tablespoon Agave or raw honey (optional)
3 eggs
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 cup water or rice or almond milk
Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Put the agave, eggs, oil, and milk into a blender; mix at low speed. Slowly add dry ingredients into liquid in the running mixer. Let batter sit to thicken and for the flours to hydrate while preparing the filling. Pour ¼ cup to ½ cup dollops of batter onto a preheated 325 ˚ + F electric skillet, or cast iron griddle; rotate the pan around to get the batter spread out very thinly. Turn over after 2 minutes or as soon as it holds together for flipping, not crispy! Cook second side until done, about 2 minutes.
Fill with fruit compote, yogurt, cacao nibs, etc. or a savory filling such as beans, fajita veggies, etc.
Makes ten to twelve 10” crepes
