Recipe: Gluten-Free Crêpes with Rice Flour

Difficulty Rating: Medium

• Liquid measuring cup and whisk or fork
• Non-stick pan and soft spatula

I personally prefer using glutinous rice flour because it gives a nicer texture and consistency. It's called "glutinous" due to its stickiness, but is absolutely celiac-friendly.

You can use 1/2 cup of cornstarch instead of the rice flour and 3/4 cup of milk instead of a full cup.

1 cup rice flour

¼ tsp salt

1 cup milk

1 tbsp oil

2 eggs

Butter to melt in pan for flavour

You will need to re-mix batter between each pouring otherwise it will settle.

• Help make the batter;
• Stir the batter before each pour;
• Select the filling(s);
• Fill the crêpe & roll.

For information on kitchen safety when cooking with children, read Setting Kitchen Rules.

• Combine ingredients in liquid measuring cup and mix well.
• Heat pan to medium temperature.
• Melt butter in the pan, using just enough to coat it. Be careful not to scorch the butter.
• Pour batter from liquid measuring cup into middle of hot pan and give a swirl to spread it evenly.
• When the air bubbles have popped and the edges of crêpe start to curl up, carefully flip crêpe over.
• Let it cook for another minute and remove from pan.
• On a plate, fill half of the crêpe with your choice of goodies (See suggestions below).
• Roll crêpe from filling side and enjoy!

These crêpes are a wonderful gluten-free substitute for bread, flat-bread or pitas. Use them to make healthy wraps with your favourite ingredients.
