Notes
Recipe was tested with Bouchard Farms buckwheat flour. A substitute for buckwheat has not been tested in this recipe.
The sugar can be omitted if you are making crepes for a savory filling.
The batter will be thin.
Use a ¼ cup measure to pour the batter onto the skillet. You should end up with a 7 inch circle.
Instead of swirling the batter as you pour it into the pan, you can tilt the pan to move the batter into a larger circle. I've found this to be a bit harder to do.
Crepes can be stored at room temperature in a sealed plastic bag for up to 2 days. They can also be refrigerated for up to 5 days. Freezing has not been tested.
Crepes can be filled with fresh fruit, canned fruit, cooked apples, cooked peaches, ham, turkey, cheeses, chicken salad, tuna salad or served alongside a breakfast, lunch or dinner meal.
