Whole Wheat Crepes

[heart_this] · Nov 11, 2008 · 6 Comments

It has been a little over a year since I first tried making crepes . At first they were a little bit challenging but with practice they have become pretty fun to make. I have been using the same recipe since I first made them and I was thinking that whole wheat crepes would be a nice healthier alternative. It seemed reasonable to start with the tried and true recipe and replace half of the all purpose flour with some whole wheat flour. I found that the batter was a little thick so I added more milk until it had a nice runny consistency that would be required to swirl it around the pan. The whole wheat crepes worked out well; they were a little heavier than the regular ones but they were still pretty light and fluffy. They were even good enough to enjoy eating plain, especially while still warm.

    Pardon me for being dense, but your second 1/4 c. of flour, is that supposed to be “white flour” or is it a redundancy?

    Thanks

    I tried this recipe today in two variations, once – in a fresh tortilla, the second time- on some Russian blinis. The blini version is much prettier, but taco has a neutral taste and you can enjoy the goat cheese melting in your mouth with much more density…
    Oh yeah, I also added some crushed walnuts, but not too much, I think walnuts are perfect with cheese and spinach…

    These sound delicious. I usually mix whole wheat flour into just about everything. I wonder if they would have a slightly lighter texture if you used whole wheat pastry flour instead?

    This batter is a great one! I added 2 tbsp ground flax seed to it as well. I’m posting my lunch recipe of these now!

    Love your basic crepe recipe. I used oat flour instead of wheat flour. It was great. Loved this so much better than my other crepe recipe.
