- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Ingredients for Sunflower Seed Butter
- 4 cups roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds
- 2-4 tablespoons of coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions for Crepes:
- Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
- As mixture goes from a flour-like consistency to clumping together (the oil is starting to be released from the heat of the machine and friction), add in 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Be patient, this can take a several minutes.
- Continue processing, and as the mixture continues to warm, it should turn creamy and smooth and whir happily, easily inside the bowl. If not, it is OK to add a bit more oil until the mixture is runny and whirring smoothly.
- Continue to process for another 2-3 minutes.
- Use a large nonstick pan or skillet.
- Cook crepe on either side until golden for about 30 seconds to 1 min.
