Ingredients

  • 250 g whole rice flour or you can use simple white flour
  • 70 g low fat cocoa powder 11% fat
  • 700 ml low fat milk 1.5% fat
  • 3 eggs free range are best
  • 50 g low fat butter 40% fat
  • 40 ml maple syrup
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Start by sifting all dry ingredients and whisk them together in a bowl.
  • Melt the butter by microwave it for a minute.
  • Use a blender to beat the eggs until fluffy. Add the maple syrup and the melted butter.
  • Add the eggs mix to the bowl with the dry ingredients and blend together. Add milk little by little and mix thoroughly (you add the milk in small amounts so that there are no lumps in the batter).
  • Prepare a crepes pan on medium heat.
  • Use a soup dipper to add the crepes batter in the pan. Move the pan from side to side so that the batter is evenly distributed across the surface of the pan.
  • Cook on one side until small bubbles come up to the surface of the crepe and the margins are easy to raise from the pan. Use a spatula to turn gently the crepe. Cook on the other side for 10 seconds.
  • Due to the fact that I used rice flour, the crepes were a bit crumbly and they were not very easy to maneuver. But you can still do it if you are gentle with the turning move. If you use normal flour, you should not experience this challenge :)
  • Take out the crepe and placed it on a shallow plate. User another plate or a pot lid to cover the crepe. This will grant the steam to form over the crepe and to moisturize it. This was perfect to my rice flour crepes as they became more flexible and easy to handle.
  • Repeat the crepes cooking process and stack the resulted crepes on top of the other on the plate and with the lid over them.
  • You can serve these lovely crepes with whatever you want. I chose a low fat cottage cheese and strawberry jam for the filling and some blueberries and strawberry to garnish my plate.
  • Enjoy!
