Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g buckwheat flour
  • 1 pinch of Salt
  • 1 heaped tbsp good quality cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons of maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 200ml milk
  • 50ml strong espresso coffee (left to go cold)
  • 50g melted butter
  • 1 tbsp sunflower or rapeseed oil
  • Vanilla clotted cream ice cream and maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a bowl and whisk until smooth (you can also use a blender)
  2. Cover and leave to rest for an hour. This helps the texture and flavour develop.
  3. Heat a crepe or frying pan until hot, brush with a little butter (be careful not to have excess butter in the pan as this will stop the crepes forming evenly).
  4. Using a small ladle or measuring cup, quickly pour 2 -3 inches of batter into the hot pan, rolling it around at the same time to cover the entire surface. It should bubble quickly, lose its shine and show small holes.
  5. Flip crepe over and cook on the other side for approx. 10 seconds. Roll or fold crepe up and remove from pan. Repeat until batter is gone.
  6. Serve crepes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
