    How to Make Versatile Crepes: Delicate Buckwheat or Classic Wheat

    1. Blend the Ingredients

    Combine the soy milk, water, all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, arrowroot flour, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend the mixture until smooth, which should only take a few seconds.

    2. Chill the Batter

    Pour the batter into a container, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to allow the flours to fully hydrate.

    3. Preheat the Pan

    Preheat a 9- to 10-inch crepe pan or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Spray the pan lightly with nonstick spray and brush on a bit of margarine using a silicone brush.

    4. Cook the Crepes

    Ladle about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the pan. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook for 1 to 1.5 minutes until the top appears dry, the center bubbles, and the edges are lightly browned. Use a spatula to loosen the edges of the crepe and flip it over. Cook the other side for about 30 seconds until lightly golden. Slide the finished crepe onto a plate.

    Variations
