Gluten Free Crepe Recipe from Scratch

Easy Gluten Fee Crepe Recipe from scratch Overview

Light and delicious, surprisingly, these gluten free crepes are made with white rice flour, and can be made for breakfast, a dessert, or part of a savory dish. Of course, the taste of these gluten free crepes depends on your filling. You can opt for just simple butter or you can do repurpose like a blueberry sauce to stuff your crepe.
These crepes make for an absolutely delicious gluten free meal! The one thing I will say about the rice flour, is that it is a little tougher to fold or roll than traditional flour crepes. These tend to crack easier. I don’t mind the cracks when at home, but if trying to make photogenic dishes for a blog… well, you know! I suggest stacking, folding or other creative ways to fill. Maybe try cutting in strips and layering with a cream cheese & fruit filling. Possibilities are endless.

These easy rice flour crepes are sweetened with orange liqueur if you have it, but orange juice can be used, orange zest, or other things you can imagine. You can also sweeten these gluten free crepes with your favorite no-calorie sweetener. I grow stevia in my herb garden, and use freshly chopped leaves, which I think is one of my new favorite uses. The season is coming to an end this year for new leaves, so I will dry what I have left and use those up. No unusual ingredients like xanthan gum, tapioca flour, or gluten free flour are needed to make gluten free crepes from scratch.
