Ingredients
Scale
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
2 large eggs
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for dairy-free option)
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons melted butter or oil, plus more for the pan
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup chocolate chips or chocolate sauce
Instructions
In a blender, combine the gluten-free flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter or oil, sugar, and salt. Blend until the batter is completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
Pour the batter into a bowl, cover, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the gluten-free flour hydrate.
Heat a 6 to 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with melted butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the hot pan. Immediately lift and tilt the pan in a circular motion so the batter thinly coats the bottom surface.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges look dry and the bottom is lightly golden.
Carefully flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook the second side for about 30 seconds.
Slide the finished crepe onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan lightly with butter between crepes if needed.
To serve, place sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate sauce on one half of the crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then in half again, or roll it up.
Notes
Resting the batter is crucial for preventing tearing in gluten-free crepes.
Use a very thin layer of fat in the pan for each crepe to prevent sticking.
If you prefer a dairy-free option, use non-dairy milk and oil instead of butter.
For a richer chocolate flavor, mix 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder into the batter.
