Buckwheat Crepes
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup white flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- Canola or other vegetable oil, for skillet
- Roasted cauliflower, parsnip and leek filling (see recipe)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt.
- Add eggs and mix well.
- Gradually add milk and 1 1/4 cups water, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps.
- Add butter and whisk until smooth.
- (Alternatively, these ingredients may be combined in a blender and processed for 1 minute.)
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Stir well before using.
- Place a baking sheet in oven and heat to 175 degrees.
- Dampen a dish towel with warm water and set aside.
- Using a brush or paper towel, lightly oil a 6- to 8-inch lightweight skillet or crepe pan.
- Place over medium heat.
- When pan is warm, lift from heat and wait 3 seconds, then pour in 1/4 cup crepe batter while tilting pan so batter coats bottom evenly.
- Return to heat.
- Cook until lightly browned underneath, about 2 minutes.
- Turn and cook other side about 1 minute.
- (First crepes may tear and need to be discarded.)
- Place finished crepes on baking sheet in oven and cover with damp towel.
- To fill crepes, remove from oven.
- Raise oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Place one crepe on a plate (replace towel on others), and spread about 3 tablespoons filling across one end.
- Roll end just enough to enclose mixture.
- Fold in two sides of crepe, then continue to roll.
- Place filled crepes in a baking dish just large enough to hold them.
- Pour a portion of filling's sauce over top and place in oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until warmed through.
- Serve immediately.
