Buckwheat Crepes
Ingredients
1 cup water
1 cup milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
2/3 cup white flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp melted butter
Preparation
Buckwheat pancakes are great, but here's something a little more
elegant: buckwheat crepes. Serve them with melted butter and cinnamon
sugar. TO MAKE BATTER IN A BLENDER, put all ingredients into a
blender jar in order given, and blend briefly at medium speed. Stop
and scrape down the sides of the blender jar; then blend for another
5 seconds or so. Pour out the batter into a bowl, cover and let rest
for 1 hour before using. To make batter by hand, beat the eggs
slightly, add milk, water, salt and melted butter, then gradually
whisk in flours. Pour the batter through a strainer and let sit for
1/2 hour before using. To cook crepes, melt a little butter in a
crepe pan and cook. As buckwheat has an enormous capacity to absorb
liquid, you might find it necessary to thin the batter with more milk
or water.
