Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Crepes with a Vegan Option and Trio of Fillings
Crepes are eggs dairy, and gluten free. So many may hesitate to try a high edition that is allergen-free. However, Charmaine in Yummy Allergen Free had any crepe cravings. And after trials she achieved crepes which are additionally sugar-free and egg-free!
Charmaine was kind enough to share this recipe with us back in 2008. Because it had been buried in our documents, we have given a face lift and upgraded the recipe a bit to the article. And Food Allergy Awareness Week combined with Mother's Day's very first evening seemed to re-feature it!

Ingredients
- 3 ready egg replacer"eggs" (can sub 3 eggs)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened milk drink that is dairy-free
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup brown or white rice flour
- ⅛ cup candies white rice flour

Water

Directions
Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Crepes
- Set the egg replacer (or eggs), milk drink, water, buttery spread, flours, starches, and salt on your blender. Blend until smooth, about two minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides.
- Preheat a heavy duty Teflon-coated, 8-inch omelet pan above medium-high heat. Be sure the crepe will not brown or that the pan is preheated.
- Oil a paper towel and use it to grease the pan.
- Pour into the pan lift the pan and swirl it the batter has ceased flowing and till the bottom is coated. Place the pan back to the heat and cook for approximately 1 minute, or until the edges are curled up from the pan and a little bit has browned. Flip the crepe over and brown the other side for around 1 minute. Remove in the pan and put it onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap.
- Re-oil the paper towel and use it the pan. Layer the cooked crepes using parchment paper or all the plastic wrap to keep them and also to keep them tender.
- Set sugar and the water in a bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and there forms a syrup. You can cook them over moderate heat for a couple minutes.
Apple Filling
Place into a pot with enough water to cover. Add a dash of cinnamon and the sugar.
Reduce the heat to low and cook until the majority of the water is eliminated and apples are tender.
Melt the spread. Insert the sweet rice flour, and cook while stirring for 3 minutes (it'll appear grainy). Add some of the broth at a time, whisking with each addition, until all the broth is added and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Stir in broccoli and the chicken and cook till heated through.
