The Best Dairy-Free Spelt Crepes
Delicious soft and thin spelt crepes without any dairy.
Equipment
- Non Stick Crepe Pan
- Ladle
- Large stainless steel mixing bowl
- Manual whisk or electric hand mixer
- Small cup (for cracking eggs)
- Measuring jug (1 liter)
- Silicone pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 kg Spelt Flour
- ½ tbsp Pink Himalayan Salt
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, or Canola Oil (plus extra for the pan)
- 1 tbsp Concentrated Vanilla Extract
- 1 liter Water
- 1 liter Dairy-Free Milk (Soy, Almond, or Oat)
- 1 Eggs (optional)
Instructions
- Sift the spelt flour into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
- Crack each egg individually into a small cup first, then add to the well.
- Gradually add the water and dairy-free milk, whisking continuously until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract, salt, and oil. Mix well until fully combined.
- Rest the batter in the fridge for 1–2 hours to eliminate lumps.
- Heat a non-stick crepe pan over high heat and lightly grease with oil.
- Pour one ladle of batter into the pan, immediately swirling to spread it thinly and evenly.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sweet or savory fillings.
Notes
- Always crack eggs one at a time into a separate cup before adding to the batter, in case one is bad.
- For a caramel-flavored crepe, sprinkle coconut sugar directly onto the crepe while it's still in the pan and roll it up on the heat.
- The eggs are completely optional — the crepes turn out even lighter without them.
- Any plant-based milk works: soy, almond, oat, coconut milk, or coconut cream.
- You can prepare a large batch in advance and reheat as needed.
- If the batter is too thick, simply add a small splash of water or dairy-free milk and whisk until you reach the right consistency. If it is too thin, don't worry — just let it rest in the fridge for an extra hour. Spelt flour continues to absorb the liquid over time, and the batter will naturally thicken up beautifully.
