For the best texture, use a high-speed blender to achieve a perfectly smooth batter. Soaking the buckwheat groats is crucial for both texture and flavor. Don't skip this step! Adjust the amount of water to achieve the desired batter consistency. It should be thin enough to spread easily but not too watery. These crepes are delicate, so handle them with care when flipping. Get creative with your fillings! Try savory options like sautéed vegetables and cheese.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSoak the buckwheat: In a bowl, combine the raw buckwheat groats with 1 ⅓ cups of water. Ensure the groats are fully submerged. Let soak for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator. Rinse and drain the groats once or twice during the soaking period to remove excess starch. (Soaking time: 4 hours - overnight)
02
StepPrepare the batter: After soaking, rinse and drain the buckwheat groats thoroughly. Transfer the drained groats to a high-speed blender. Add the egg, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and ½ cup of water. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until the batter reaches a thin, easily spreadable consistency. (Prep time: 5-7 minutes)
03
StepCook the crepes: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or crepe pan with butter or oil and heat over medium heat. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the batter. (Prep time: 2-3 minutes)
04
StepPour about ⅓ cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Immediately lift and tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly. (Cook time: 1 minute)
05
StepCook the crepe for approximately 2 minutes, or until the edges appear set and the underside is lightly golden. Gently flip the crepe with a thin spatula and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the crepe is firm and cooked through. For a final touch, flip again and cook for about 10-15 seconds to ensure even cooking. (Cook time: 4 minutes)
06
StepServe immediately: Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, jam, or mashed bananas. Repeat with the remaining batter.
