Vegan Crepes

pollen's Note:

Somehow, in spite of the fact that they lack the two primary components of real crepes, these vegan crepes are absolutely delicious, and taste like the real thing! This recipe came from allrecipes.com. Prep time includes resting time.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 20 mins
• Prep Time: 2 hrs
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 16 crepes ...

• ½ cup soymilk
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup melted margarine
• 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar or 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, blend soy milk, water, margarine, sugar, syrup, flour, and salt.
2. Cover and chill the mixture for 2 hours.
3. Heat a 5-6" skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
4. Pour approximately 3 tablespoons batter into the skillet.
5. Swirl to make the batter cover the skillet's bottom.
6. (You may have to thin the batter out with a bit of water if it doesn't spread out easily).
7. Cook until golden, flip and cook on opposite side.
8. (The crepes are very delicate and a bit hard to flip.. one option if you have trouble with this is to spread them out really thinly and not flip them at all).

Very interesting! :) This was my first experience making crepes, and I must say I think they turned out pretty well. They did get a little scrunched up while flipping them over, but it wasn't as difficult as I'd expected. I used melted butter, and white sugar. I had these with pure maple syrup for a sweet snack!

These crepes are absolutely amazing. If you're impatient and don't want to wait two hours for them to air out, you don't really have to. I'm impatient so I didn't bother waiting, and they turned out just like slightly thicker pancakes. They're great with some vegan dark chocolate spread and a bit of sugar sprinkled on top! Better than the pancakes I used to make before I was vegan :P

I didn't care for this recipe using my crepe maker. Maybe it is fine otherwise.
