Ingredients
- 2 cups (450 g) filtered water
- 11⁄4 cups (175 g) buckwheat flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1⁄4 cup (55 g)
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter or extra-virgin olive oil
instruction
- Combine the water, flour, eggs, olive oil, sugar, and salt in a blender, and puree on high speed until well mixed, about 30 seconds. You can use the batter right away, but I like to chill it in the refrigerator overnight, which allows the flour to hydrate fully and results in more flavour, elasticity, and crispness.
- When you are ready to cook the crêpes, give the batter one good stir, especially if it has been resting in the refrigerator. Heat a nonstick crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with a little bit of the melted butter, then pour in about 1/3 cup of the batter while swirling the pan to ensure it goes in as a thin layer. Small bubbles will appear around the batter as it cooks. Tuck in the edges with a rubber spatula and cook for 30 seconds, or until golden. Grab an edge with your fingers and gently flip the crêpe over, or use a spatula if the pan is too hot. Finish cooking for another 30 seconds, then slide onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of the Chocolate-Hazelnut Butter over half of each crêpe, fold, and serve immediately while warm. Any leftover batter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
