Hi n,

Thanks for your reply. How do you peel the crepe off the pan? I'm trying to

avoid non-stick, but maybe a cast iron one will do?

somebody make crepes? Do you find it useful on the diet? Which crepe maker do

I've tried making crepes with horrible results. I can make them gluten free

with no problem, but the SCD recipe wouldn't hold together to even attempt to

turn them. Anyone have a recipe that actually works? We love crepes around here

- used to make them all the time for special breakfasts and would like to do it

again.

BTW - I've always used a large skillet with no problems. I use non-stick spray

or lots of butter. Coconut oil also works well to keep them from sticking.

I followed a recipe that called for coconut flour. The " crepes " just plain

didn't work. They didn't stick together and fell into pieces when I tried to

turn them. Believe me, I KNOW how to make crepes and these were the weirdest

things. The taste wasn't good either, so it must have been the coconut flour.

I'll try with almond flour when I can afford to buy some more. I can't do

yogurt, so I hope it still works.

I have an old one.

Electric, heat it up, turn it over, dip it into the batter, turn it back

and set it down. Wait a few minutes, slip the crepe off, dip it, set it

down...

>> The problem is the coconut flour.

Thanks. I'll try again with almond flour as soon as it goes on sale somewhere.

I was thinking it might be the coconut flour, but I find so many recipes using

it...

That's how I make mine every morning - 2 eggs scrambled with a tablespoon or two

of water, then small amounts into a non-stick pan liberally smeared with

butter/oil of your choice (my current choice is coconut oil), cooked on a fairly

high heat. Just before it is perfectly set, flip it out onto a plate, fill with

cashew or hazelnut butter, honey (Tasmanian Leatherwood honey- a new discovery

and will remain my favourite to my last breath), and slices of banana. Roll.

Devour.

My latest addition has been to drizzle cocoa butter on top. Just don't ask how

I'm doing with my Lenten fasting...

I do this to make wrappers for " breakfast burritos " and tacos. I'm wanting a

slightly different taste for crepes.

LOL!

We had chopped spinach and brie sauce with jumbo boiled shrimps for

dinner last Friday. It was not a penance to eat, I can assure

you!
