Serves:: 4

ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup buckwheat flour
¹⁄₂ cup rice flour (use a finely milled flour)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (can use other oil of choice)
1 ¹⁄₄ cups soymilk (can use other milk if wished)
2 teaspoons arrowroot or 2 teaspoons tapioca starch
1 pinch salt
oil, for pan frying

directions

Place the buckwheat flour, rice flour, arrowroot/tapioca and a pinch of salt on a bowl. Make a 'well' in the centre of the flour.
Add the coconut oil and a little of the milk, beating well with a wooden spoon.
Gradually beat in the remaining milk, drawing the flour in from the sides to make a smooth batter.
Heat a little oil in an 18cm/7 inch non-stick frying pan. Pour in just enough batter to coat the base of the pan thinly. Swirl the pan to spread the mixture thinly across the base of the pan.
Cook until golden brown, flip and cook the other side.
Place cooked crepes onto a plate and using baking paper between cooked crepes to stop them from sticking together.

These are excellent crepes! I added a bit more milk than the recipe called for, however. I found the batter was too thick for crepes with only 1 1/4 cups of milk, so I added 1 1/2 cups + 2 tbsp of milk and it was perfect. This will be my go-to recipe for crepes now.

My first try at making creeps, and these were quite good. I tried using Pam to oil skillet, and that didn't work real well. I didn't see where the tapioca starch was to be mixed in, so I just put it with the other dry ingredients. My batter was lumpy but the creeps were still good,
