How to make Gluten Free Crepes Buckwheat Crepes Sweet and Savory

Today I'm going to show you how to make buckwheat crepes, two ways, one savory and one sweet, just to satisfy everybody in your family. Despite its name, buckwheat is actually a gluten-free, nutritious grain that's a great source of both fiber and B vitamins. I'm also going to show you how to turn these crepes into a bite-sized, adorable little appetizer that you can serve at holiday parties, or even just when friends come over. We're going to first start with buckwheat groats that you can buy online or in well-stocked grocery stores. Grind the groats down using a spice grinder to a fine powder, and then measure out one cup. Don't worry if it's not perfectly ground, because we're going to be putting it into a blender. To a blender, add a half cup of water, half cup of non-dairy milk, two tablespoons of melted and cooled unsalted butter, two eggs, one cup of buckwheat flour, and a quarter teaspoon of salt, and blend through. You could also do this in a bowl, but you want to make sure the egg whites are nice and well mixed, so you avoid those egg white streaks that you might see in the crepes later on. I'm using a nonstick pan, and I have it heated to medium low. Then I'm going to ladle in some batter, and use this handy baton here to twirl the batter evenly around the pan. If you don't have one, it's worth buying, or you can simply pick up the pan and twirl the batter around. Cook the crepe for about one minute, and then flip and add the toppings. I've warmed up some Nutella, and I'm going to drizzle it on the crepe. Then I'm going to top with some strawberries, but you could also do bananas, or just maybe use jam and lemon and sugar. We're going to make savory crepes next, and I'm heating some mushrooms here in a saute pan with some olive oil. Once these are cooked through a bit, I'm going to add some chopped kale and cook that down. I've made my crepe, and I've flipped it, and I'm going to add some Gruyere cheese, and then our kale mushroom mixture. To make these crepes minis, make a crepe, and then add some cheese. Punch out some small circles with a biscuit cutter. Add the kale and mushroom topping, and then fold over. Now you have this super easy and delicious mini crepe appetizer.
