    With a little practise these become easy gluten free crepes, even kids can learn to make them. Crepes can be rolled, folded, stacked or stuffed and there's no end to the many ways you can serve them. Don't wait for a special occasion, make crepes instead of pancakes this weekend.

    Almost every European country has a version of crepes. Palatschinken is the crepe made in Germany and Austria, Ukrainian people make nalysnyky, blintzes come from Russia and in Czech they eat palačinky. The list goes on and the recipes vary, but the main message is that if all these people can make crepes, you can make them gluten free.

    • Easy Gluten Free Crepes

    🥣 Ingredients

    Typical North American pancakes are made with a leavening agent like baking powder which makes them thicker than crepes. When you're making crepes, thin is in! Make them for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

    • milk (2% or whole milk)
    • eggs
    • butter
    • EGFG gluten free flour blend (sweet rice flour, potato starch, sorghum flour, millet flour)
    • oil for cooking

    See recipe card for exact amounts.

    🍳 Instructions for Making Perfect Crepes

    I hadn't made crepes for years and after only a few tries I mastered the technique in my well used non-stick pan. Here are my tips for success.

    Flipping a Gluten Free Crepe
    • The pan should be quite hot before you start.
    • Use a tiny amount of oil and wipe the pan with a paper towel before you cook each crepe. This evenly greases the pan plus picks up any flecks of batter from the last crepe.
    • Use a measuring cup to pour the same amount of batter in the pan each time. You'll save a few seconds when you know you're pouring it all in the pan and that's the time it takes for the next step.
    • Quickly swirl the pan so the batter covers the entire bottom.
    • Use the thinnest flipper you have to easily flip the crepes without tearing them.

    🥣 Substitutions

    EGFG gluten free flour blend - If for any reason you can't use my everyday blend, work at finding a substitute. It takes trial and error but once you have a reliable blend, that works in most of your baking, it's a game changer. Just don't try and make it work in every recipe.

    Rice Free - I haven't found the right combination of flour for the perfect rice free crepe, yet! These buckwheat crepes are best with a savoury filling but if you're looking for a rice-free crepe for a sweet filling just keep trying. Use the flours you can tolerate, learn as you go, and ask me questions along the way.

    Dairy Free - Yes, substitute a dairy free milk for cow's milk.

    📖 Variations for Gluten Free Crepes

    Just like pancakes the amount of sugar varies among crepe recipes but using a different filling will make the most significant difference in your dish. Mix it up!

    • Fold crepes in four and sprinkle with white sugar or icing sugar. Top with fresh fruit if you like.
    • Spread each crepe with your favourite jam or even Nutella then fold in four or roll them up.
    • Fill with freshly whipped cream, with or without fruit, then roll or fold as desired. Mine were made for dessert so I filled them with whipped cream and drizzled strawberry sauce over them.
    • Pastry Cream or vanilla cream would be a fancy filling for a fancy dessert.
    • Make an impressive crepe cake by spreading any filling on each crepe and stacking as many as you want for the desired size of cake. You'll find my tips for that in this post, Crepe Cake.
    • Traditional French savoury crepes are made with buckwheat flour but a crepe is a bank canvas. Fill any crepe with anything you want!

    One recipe, endless variations. That's what gluten free cooks love!

    🥣 Equipment

    A crepe pan isn’t necessary but they do have some features for easy cooking. If your family loves crepes, or you're looking for a gift, here are some ideas.

    • Cuisinart’s Classic non-stick 10-inch crepe pan.
    • This high-end 10-inch Ceramic Nonstick Crepe Pan with a larger edge on one end.
    • An electric crepe maker with batter spreader and wooden spatula.
    • A heavy Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron Crepe Pan.

    💭 Top Tip

    Pay attention to the heat setting on your stove so you can repeat what works. Get some help, use two pans on different elements and learn more about your stove and your pans. I made my crepes with two regular non-stick pans. I had them both on the stove at the same time and was able to work efficiently, stay focused and figure out the tips I shared above.

    Easy Gluten Free Crepes
