Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Non-dairy butter
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, and salt.
Gradually add almond milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes while preparing the lemon butter sauce.
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of non-dairy butter over low heat.
Add lemon juice and sugar to the melted butter, stirring to combine.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth.
Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the lemon zest and remove the saucepan from heat. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of non-dairy butter or oil.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, swirling it around to form a thin layer that covers the bottom completely.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the crepes warm, drizzled with the prepared lemon butter sauce.
