Yeah, chickpea flour, while good, is definitely not a crepe. Mark Bittman recommends Teff for crepes though I’ve never tried it. Here’s a recipe for a dairy/gluten/sugar-free teff crepe that is allegedly great with chocolate…

Hi,
After making great vegan crepes using another recipe, I’d like to master a vegan crepe that is also wheat/gluten-free. So I tried chickpea flour which tastes very bad, very unlike delicious crepes. Then I used a combo of chickpea flour and buckwheat flour which got a bit better. Any recommendations? What are Teff or Tapioca flour types and would any suggest applying them for crepes?

thx!
Adam

Arwen, there's lots you can do with silken tofu. I used firm but silken tofu is much creamier. A quick search for "silken tofu cream" turned up Tofu Cream Cheese (for carrot cake!), Tofu Sour Cream, and Tofu Mousse. Lots of options!

I’ve read a few things lately about using tofu as a substitute in creamy things. I still haven’t tried it, but I like the idea of a low fat alternative to cream. I’m so used to savoury tofu, but I’ll have to give the sweetened tofu a go.

I will definitely make this… as long as we can get some of that amazing greek yogurt to go with it!

These sound delicious… chick pea flour actually is very light and delicate, so perfect for crepes. Make these when you get here next…
