Recipe: Warm Buckwheat Crepes with Mixed Berries (South Beach Diet)
Breakfast and BrunchWARM BUCKWHEAT CREPES WITH MIXED BERRIES
"Buckwheat flour has a nutty taste that adds flavorful depth to these beautiful crepes. Use an 8-inch skillet when making this dish."
3 tablespoons buckwheat flour
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1 large egg
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 tablespoon warm water, plus
1 1/2 teaspoons warm water
1/2 teaspoon granular sugar substitute
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Salt
1 1/2 cups mixed frozen berries, thawed
Puree buckwheat and all-purpose flours, milk, egg, oil, water, sugar substitute, cinnamon, zest, and a pinch of salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, place berries in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low-heat until gently bubbling and warmed through. Remove from heat and cover pan to keep warm.
Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the batter, tilting the pan so that batter forms an even, thin layer. Cook until bubbles form and edges begin to brown, about 1 minute. Using a spatula, carefully flip the cr pe over and cook until golden on the bottom, about 1 minute. Transfer crepe, golden side down, to a plate.
Repeat with remaining batter, coating the pan with cooking spray after each crepe. Stack crepes as you go.
TO SERVE:
Place 1 crepe, golden side down, on a plate. Place 2 tablespoons berries in the center and roll up cr pe around berries. Spoon 2 more tablespoons berries and some juices over the top. Repeat with remaining cr pes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
TO MAKE-AHEAD:
Crepes can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored, tightly wrapped in one pile, in the refrigerator. Gently reheat in a microwave on low for 15 seconds or in a warm oven.
