Weekend Crepes with A Twist!

First thing I do when really getting into anything that has me cooking up something fun in the kitchen – is to lay out my ingredients! When you can see everything in front of you and you’re prepared – it’s a great start and will likely lead to an awesome finish!

I always love to start with the dry ingredients first – then move on to the wet ones. For this little crepe recipe – we’re going to start with 1/2 cup of unbleached flour and 1/2 a cup of Yupik’s awesome Hemp Powder! Hemp Powder in general is a great source of protein and is also filled with Antioxidants, Fiber and Minerals – so nothing but good stuff here. It occurred to me one day – to just add Hemp Powder to my already healthy, delicious and light crepe option – and voila – we end up with a unique crepe recipe!

Now it’s time to add the Wet Ingredients! I always like to add 2 eggs – the nice organic golden eggs are always best I find – but any eggs will do! And most recipes will look for the addition of melted butter – but I typically like to go use Olive Oil instead. I’m sure most of you have heard about the benefits of Olive Oil – but just to name a few – it contains a large amount of antioxidants and has great anti-inflammatory properties as well! Then we add 1/2 cup of Milk – or in my case I tend to go with Almond Milk – the consistency is a bit runnier and also it doesn’t cause bloating for me (which milk often does). And then last little step here is to add 1/2 cup of water – and you are all set to start blending!

This step is a simple one – you just blend all of the ingredients together for about 30 seconds – and then you should end up with a nice runny consistency – one that will make it relatively easy to spread the crepe over the pan – so that you can that perfect ‘crepe-like’ feel – texture – taste – consistency.
