Buckwheat crepe stuffed with local summer fruit, toasted walnuts, whipped cream & honey
Instead of featuring white flour, these crepes have buckwheat flour, which contains more dietary fiber than its white counterpart. The slow-roasted fruit filling is naturally sweet and nutritious. Perfect for a light dessert or top with creamy yogurt for breakfast or brunch!

- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- ½ tbsp melted butter
- ½ cup buckwheat flour
- Pinch of salt
- About 2.5 tbsp of water
Instructions:
- Blend all the ingredients and adjust with the water so it is not too thick.
- Let rest for a few hours in the fridge for best results.
- When ready to cook heat a crepe/non-stick pan over medium heat add butter or neutral oil and ladle batter and swirl pan until batter is evenly distributed.
- Gently remove to wax paper when cooked and stack until batter is used up.
