Sweet Or Savory: Gluten-Free Crepes

Crepes are a classic French dish that is often made with wheat flour. However, there are many people who cannot eat gluten, so it is important to find a recipe that is both delicious and safe for them to eat. This recipe uses Petley Grain Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour, which is a blend of rice flour, tapioca fiber, potato starch, xanthan gum, and guar gum. This flour is perfect for making crepes because it is light and airy, and it has a slightly sweet flavor.I'm

Sweet Sensations

 

Classic Fruit & Cream:

Strawberries and whipped cream are a timeless pairing, but don't stop there! Try raspberries, blueberries, sliced bananas, or even a medley of seasonal fruits. A dollop of dairy-free whipped cream or coconut cream adds a touch of indulgence.

Assembling the Classic Fruit & Cream Crepes:

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and prepare your chosen fruit. Slice strawberries, bananas, or other larger fruits. If using berries, you can leave them whole or halve them.
  2. Whip the Cream: Prepare your whipped cream (dairy or non-dairy). You can use store-bought whipped cream or make your own. For homemade, use heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream for dairy-free) and whip until soft peaks form. Sweeten with powdered sugar to taste.
  3. Assemble the Crepes:
    • Lay a cooked crepe flat on a plate.
    • Spread a layer of whipped cream down the center of the crepe.
    • Arrange your chosen fruit on top of the whipped cream.
    • Fold the crepe in half or into quarters.
    • Dust with powdered sugar (optional).
    • Serve immediately.

Fruit & Cream Variations:

Berry Bliss Crepes:

  1. Fruit: Use a mix of fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
  2. Cream: Use whipped cream or a lighter option like Greek yogurt or a sweetened mascarpone cream.
  3. Enhancement: Drizzle with a balsamic glaze for a sophisticated touch.

Tropical Delight Crepes:

  1. Fruit: Use tropical fruits like mango (sliced or diced), pineapple (chunks or rings), and shredded coconut.
  2. Cream: Use coconut whipped cream for a tropical twist.
  3. Enhancement: Drizzle with passion fruit syrup or a light rum glaze.

Tips for Success:

  • Fresh Fruit: Use the freshest, ripest fruit available for the best flavor.
  • Cream Consistency: Don't overwhip your cream. It should be soft and spreadable, not stiff.
  • Presentation: Get creative with how you fold or arrange your crepes. You can fold them into triangles, roll them up, or create elegant fan shapes.
  • Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness of your whipped cream or other components to your preference.

Enjoy creating these delicious and versatile gluten-free crepes! They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or any time you want a special treat.

    Storage Instructions

     

    Once cooled, I recommend stacking these gluten-free crepes on top of each other and storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw on the counter for 15-30 minutes before gently peeling the crepes apart. To reheat, microwave for 10-15 seconds.
