Gluten-Free Crepes

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup (5½ ounces) of euforia Gluten Free Flour Blend (without xanthan gum)
• ¼ tsp Salt
• 3 tbsp Sugar
• 2 Eggs, large
• 1 ½ cups Whole Milk
• 2 Tbs Butter, very soft

Instructions

• In a medium bowl, whisk flour/sugar/salt.  In a separate bowl, combine milk/butter/eggs
• Add wet ingredients to dry, mix until batter is smooth
• Heat small amount of oil in a crêpe pan (test pan temperature by using a tbsp of batter - when it's the preferred brownness, the pan is the proper temp.  This can take about 5 minutes or more)
• Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan, tilt to spread the batter into a thin layer.  Cook for 20-25 seconds until the edges start to brown 
• Flip to cook the other side, then place on a paper towel to remove any excess oil
• Fill in a line with preferred filling (such as a berry compote), roll and top with yogurt or whipped cream

Note:  This recipe has been tested with and without xanthan gum with slight differences.  The crêpe with xanthan gum was slightly more firm and slightly tougher.  The differences were subtle but noticeable.

Gluten-Free Waffles

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups euforia Gluten-Free Baking Blend (without Xanthan Gum) .                            
• ½ tsp Baking Soda
• ½ tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 3 Eggs, large
• 1 ¾ cups Buttermilk
• 4 tbsp Butter, very soft

 Instructions

• Pre-heat waffle iron while waffle batter is being prepared. 
• In a medium bowl, whisk flour/salt/soda/sugar. In a separate bowl,mix eggs/buttermilk/butter.
• Add wet ingredients to dry and whisk well until batter is smooth (about one minute)
• Spray oil onto the waffle iron and pour amount necessary to fill.  Bake until crispy brown.

Note: You can use this recipe to make pancakes as well.  Increase the amount of buttermilk by ¼ cup or more, depending on your preference for how thick the pancake will cook on the griddle. Also, if you don't have buttermilk, you can add 1 Tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup, then fill with milk until it reaches 1 cup.  Let sit for five minutes, then stir and use.  (For this recipe, you'd use 1 1/2 tbsp vinegar, then add milk to make 1 3/4 cups.)
