Rest time: 30 minutes

Total time 1 hr 5 mins

Difficulty: Beginner

Servings: 5

Ingredients

150g of rice flour
50g of cornstarch (cornflour)
2 eggs
300 ml of milk (or plant-based milk if you prefer)
1 tbsp of vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 pinch of salt
Cooking oil

Preparation

1
To prepare the batter: In a bowl, combine the rice flour, cornstarch, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Begin mixing, gradually adding the milk to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until you have a smooth batter.
2
Add the oil: Stir the vegetable oil or melted butter into the batter. Mix well. The batter should be slightly runny; if it's too thick, add a little more milk.
3
Resting the batter (optional): Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour to fully absorb the liquids and makes the crepes lighter.
4
Cooking: Heat a crepe pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with oil. Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan and tilt it to spread the batter into a thin layer. Cook each crepe for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until lightly golden.
5
Serving: The gluten-free crepes are ready! You can stack them on a plate and keep them covered with a tea towel to keep them warm. Serve them with your favorite dishes or as a base for an Asian meal.

Note

If you want sweet crepes, you can add sugar to your batter
