Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
- 3 units Large eggs
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter (or dairy-free margarine), melted
- 0.25 cup Butter (or dairy-free margarine)
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
Stir in the melted butter into the batter and let rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 1 minute.
Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate and covering with a clean towel to keep them warm.
To make the lemon butter sauce, melt 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add the sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the melted butter and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Serve the crepes warm with a generous drizzle of lemon butter sauce over them.
