Delicate Whole Wheat Crepe Recipe
Whole wheat crepes can be light and delicate. Let me prove it with this delicious recipe for whole wheat crepes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour- I used white wheat
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter plus more for buttering the pan
- toppings
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until it is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 1 hour to rest.
- Heat your pan over medium-high heat. Once it is heated, brush it lightly with butter.
- Spoon in ¼ cup of batter while the pan is tilted. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom with the batter.
- Let this cook until it is golden brown, it should take 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Notes
Be sure to let the batter rest before cooking it. I have a whole section below to explain more about this.
Mind the consistency. The consistency needs to be that of a thin pancake batter- a very thin batter. You want it to spread easily in the pan. Whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture than refined flour, so after it has rested, check to ensure it is the consistency you want.
If you are not going to serve the crepes right away, be sure to separate each one with parchment paper or wax paper. This will keep them from sticking to each other.
