How to Gluten Free

Tender Gluten-Free Crepes (Sweet or Savoury)

Soft, flexible gluten-free crepes that fold without tearing and work equally well sweet or savoury. A three-flour blend (potato starch, sweet potato flour and rice flour) gives them a tender, lacy finish — brunch, dessert or dinner, all coeliac-friendly.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 8 crepes
Course: Breakfast, Dessert
Cuisine: French

Ingredients
  

  • 50 g potato starch labelled gluten-free
  • 50 g sweet potato flour
  • 50 g rice flour labelled gluten-free
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 350 ml milk or plant milk for dairy-free
  • 25 g butter melted (or oil)
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients (potato starch, sweet potato flour, rice flour and salt) together. Add the eggs, milk and melted butter and whisk to a smooth, pourable batter.
  2. Rest the batter for 15–20 minutes if you have time — it makes the crepes noticeably more tender.
  3. Heat a lightly buttered non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in a thin ladle of batter and swirl to coat the base. Cook about 1 minute until golden underneath, then flip and cook 30 seconds more.
  4. Fill and fold while warm — sweet (berries, banana, dark chocolate, a swirl of coconut yogurt) or savoury (cheese, sautéed spinach, mushrooms, a cracked egg, or ham).

Notes

Coeliac notes
• Use rice flour and starches labelled gluten-free — plain versions can pick up gluten in shared mills.
• Make it dairy-free by swapping in plant milk and using oil instead of butter.
• Check your fillings: some dark chocolate carries barley malt, and deli ham can hide gluten — read the label.
• At home, use a clean pan, utensils and surfaces that have not just handled wheat flour or batter.
