Wholesome Buckwheat Crepes

Anybody who knows me knows that I have a sweet tooth and that I like anything involving pancakes or pancake batter...So nothing is better than some crepes...Buckwheat Crepes....To start your weekend brunch.

INGREDIENTS:


2/3 cup raw buckwheat groats

water, to cover

1 egg

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup water, or as needed

DIRECTIONS:


These are very simple directions-.Combine buckwheat groats with about 1 1/3 cup water in a bowl; allow to soak, draining and rinsing once or twice during soaking, 4 hours to overnight.

2.Rinse and drain groats one final time. Transfer drained groats to a blender with egg, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and 1/2 cup water; blend into a smooth batter. Blend more water into the mixture as needed to reach a smooth, spreadable texture.

3.Lightly grease a skillet and place over medium heat.

4.Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the skillet; lift and tilt the skillet to swirl the batter evenly over the skillet; return to heat.

5.Cook for about 2 minutes. Gently flip the crepe and cook the other side until the crepe is firm in the middle, about 2 minutes more; flip again and cook about 12 seconds. Plate and serve immediately.

Look, I admit , I don't know where to tell you to buy any groats....So I'll give you an alternative...You can make a crepe with light pancake batter and  the other ingredients, sugar, cinnamon, salt...et al...and you can fill your crepe with fruit  mixes, such as cherries or berries..and it will taste just as well....but I guaruntee you, you'll thoroughly enjoy these crepes if you are industrious enough to find all of the ingredients needed to make them...(ie- groats.)

Enjoy!
