How to Make Almond Milk Crepes

To make the batter, first start by mixing together the almond milk, egg, flour, and a pinch of salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl until smooth. It should be runny but also be a little thick.

In a medium-sized pan, add in ½ teaspoon of butter or coconut oil.

Heat the pan over medium-low heat. Spread the utter around well using a pastry brush or paper towel.

Take a portion of the crepe batter and add it to the pan, right over the top of the melted butter. Move the pan around to make sure that the batter gets spread around.

Let it cook for a couple of minutes or until you notice some bubbles forming and the surface of the crepe no longer looking shiny.

Run a rubber spatula over the edge of the crepe to help lift it from the pan. This will make it easier to flip.

Flip the crepe over and cook the other side for one additional minute. The crepes should look nice and browned.

Once one side has finished, store it on a covered plate until all of the crepes have been cooked.

Fill the crepes with your desired fillings and enjoy.

If you fill your crepes with ham and cheese, fill the crepe inside of the pan before folding it in half and cooking for another 30 seconds so that the cheese can melt.
