  • step 1
    ingredients   
    instructions For the Crepes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • step 2
    ingredients 3/4 cup Buckwheat Flour
    2 eggs
    1 cup whole milk
    salt and pepper to taste
    instructions Combine all the ingredients together and whisk. 
  • step 3
    ingredients   
    instructions Heat a 6" non-stick saute pan over medium heat. No oil is necessary, but carefully monitor the heat. If the pan smokes, turn the heat down.
  • step 4
    ingredients   
    instructions Ladle a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and twirl so that the base of the pan is covered in a thin layer. Cook for about one minute, or until the edges are loose from the pan. Use a spatula and quickly flip the crepe, cooking the other side for about 30 seconds longer. Continue until all the batter is used up.
  • step 5
    ingredients 1 1/2 cup sauteed spinach
    1 3/4 cup feta (crumbled)
    1 lemon (zest and juice)
    instructions For Carla's Filling: This recipe works well with leftover ingredients. For Carla's recipe, use leftover sauteed spinach (heat olive oil in a pan, toss in a few handfuls of washed spinach and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan once spinach is wilted). Assemble crepes by dividing ingredients evenly among crepes.
