It’s Pancake Day. (Or Shrove Tuesday, Carnival, or Mardi Gras). I didn't have time to prepare a post, which is unfortunate, because this is one of the holidays where we get processions of wild men.
But I did figure out how to make crepes that I can eat, without wheat or dairy. So here is the recipe! Even if you don’t have any dietary restrictions yourself, these crepes are as good as any I’ve ever had, and well worth trying.
| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 2 cups brown rice flour | 1 cup water |
| 5 eggs | 4 tablespoons coconut oil (melted), plus a little more later for cooking with. |
| 1 1/4 cup coconut milk (the watered-down meant for use as a milk substitute, not the thicker kind that comes in cans. I used Trader Joe's brand.) | a little salt |
Try to be in a warm room when you prepare it, or the coconut oil will start to re-solidify. Mix all the ingredients together in a big bowl. Spoon out about 1/4 cup at a time into a frying pan greased with coconut oil. Cook about 30 seconds per side.
This recipe makes thin, eggy crepes similar to those at IHOP. If you like more pancake-ish crepes, use only four eggs and 1 cup of coconut milk.
I ate mine with baked cinnamon apples.
