Chocolate Coffee Buckwheat Crepes

Luxurious buckwheat pancakes with chocolate coffee flavor served with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 10 - 12 Crepes

Ingredients

  • 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

  • Place all ingredients into a bowl and whisk until smooth (you can also use a blender)
  • Cover and leave to rest for an hour. This helps the texture and flavour develop.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Serve crepes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
