Sugar-free Gluten-free Dessert Crepes

These crepes are tender, delicious thin pancakes, made without any starch. Serve them with a sauce, wrap them around a filling, or serve them with syrup as an elegant dessert.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ExpertExtras RealCream dry dairy cream, packed
  • 4 teaspoons ThickenThin not/Starch thickener
  • Sweetener equivalent to 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup water

     

Directions

Makes approx 12 crepes.

1. Place dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add eggs and water and combine ingredients into thin batter. It tends to thicken a bit on standing, so have extra water available.

2. Heat a small frying pan, and butter evenly.

3. Pour a small amount of batter into pan, swirl to form even thin pancakes or crepes. (If you have trouble getting them thin enough, add a bit more water.) When center of crepe appears set and edges are slightly brown, turn over. If it starts to tear, let it cook a few seconds longer. Cook on other side just to brown slightly.

4. Stack crepes between sheets of waxed paper.

5. Serve drizzled with sugar-free syrup, or see our Sauces and Condiments Index , for ideas on how to make your own low-carb jams and sauces.

Serve immediately.
