Almond Wholemeal Crepes

These are almost like the crêpes you get in the fabulous crêperies on Parisian street. Except healthier.

Ingredients

  • 55 g (2oz) wholemeal (wholewheat) flour
  • 55 g (2oz) plain flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 200 ml (3/4 cup + 2 tbsp) almond milk
  • 80 ml (1/4 cup) water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Honey to taste optional

Instructions

  • Mix together the flours, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  • Make a well in the centre of the bowl and add in the egg and whisk into a paste.
  • In another bowl mix together the almond milk, water, vanilla extract and honey (if using).
  • Then slowly add a little bit of this milk mixture into the paste whisking well before adding in some more.
  • You need to do this very slowly so as to avoid having lumps.
  • Continue till all the milk is whisked in and the batter is smooth.
  • Heat your crepe pan on low medium heat and melt a bit of butter in it.
  • When the butter starts sizzling add in about 2-3 tbsp of the batter mixture (depending on the size of your pan) and swirl the mixture until a thin layer coats the pan.
  • Cook for about 30 seconds until the edges and parts of the crepe is crisp.
  • Then flip the crepe and cook for up to 30 seconds.
  • Keep crepes warm in oven till you have finished cooking the rest.
  • Serve with various toppings.

Notes

If you end up with a lumpy batter, a quick whisk with the electric hand held blender sorts you out.
