Ingredient Notes

- gluten free flour - for this recipe you want to choose a gluten flour mix that you know and trust. I tested this recipe extensively using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour. I've also had good luck with King Arthur Measure for Measure. You can experiment with other gluten free flour blends knowing that you may not get the same results.
- butter - I used unsalted butter for this recipe - if you only have salted butter, use ¼ teaspoon salt instead of ½ teaspoon of salt
- vanilla - not every crepe recipe has vanilla in it - I really like how the vanilla develops the flavor of this fairly simple recipe. If you are are making a savory batch of crepes, you can omit the vanilla.
Serving Suggestions and Filling Ideas
Sweet Fillings
- Nutella and fruit - try adding sliced bananas or berries with Nutella and topped with homemade whipped cream
- cinnamon and sugar - brush the finished crepes with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar
- peanut butter and jelly
- jam and fresh fruit
Savory Fillings
- crispy bacon and cheddar
- scrambled eggs and sautéed spinach

Substitutions
milk - I tested this recipe using 2% milk. If you would like to use a dairy free milk you can use coconut milk, almond milk or any other dairy free milk
gluten free flour - it's easy to make this recipe with all purpose flour - simply swap the flour cup for cup

Hint: You can make the crepe batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to have fresh crepes on both busy school mornings or quiet weekend mornings.
Storage and Make-Ahead Instructions
Make Ahead - This crepe batter actually gets better with a little bit of time to chill in the refrigerator. Store gluten free crepe batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
Crepes - Store finished crepes flat and in the refrigerator - you can store them either on a plate covered with plastic wrap or in a ziplock bag.
Amanda's Top Tips
Use a Nonstick Pan - Even though we are using butter to keep the crepes from sticking to the pan, I still recommend that you also use a non stick pan.
Brush Butter Up on the Edges of Your Pan - When you swirl the batter around in the pan, some of it has a tendency to stick to the edges of the pan. If you brush the butter onto the sides of the pan, your crepes will easily come out of the pan. You can use a pastry brush or a paper towel with butter or oil to prep your pan.
Swirl Your Pan to Spread the Batter - After pouring the batter into the pan, pick the pan up while swirling the batter around to spread the batter into a nice, thin layer.
Chill Crepe Batter - It's good to refrigerate the batter for at least an hour before making your crepes. It's not absolutely necessary but it does improve batter consistency and the texture of the finished crepes.
⭐️ Recipe FAQs

Yes! And I recommend you do so! You can make the batter ahead of time and store the finished batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The gluten free crepe batter can be kept for 1-2 days.
Most of the gluten free flour blends already contain xanthan gum. If your flour blend doesn't include it, you can add ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum to your recipe.
