Easy Vegan Crepes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons neutral flavored oil
such as canola, melted refined coconut, or avocado oil
- 1 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1 cup sparkling water OR regular water
- 2-4 tablespoons vegan butter
for the pan
- 2-3 lemons sliced
for serving
- 2-4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- berries
optional for serving
- maple syrup
for serving
Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar and salt. Now add the oil, non-dairy milk and sparkling water OR regular water (sparkling water makes them even lighter, but is not necessary). Whisk well until smooth and well combined.

Heat a medium sized, non-stick pan to medium heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon or two of vegan butter to the pan. Once melted, add about 1/3 cup of the batter to the pan. Immediately pick up the pan and rotate it to move the batter into a thin circle.

Cook until the top looks fairly dry, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip the crepe over and cook for 30 seconds on the other side. Remove from pan and repeat with the rest of the batter.

Serve: My favorite way to serve crepes is by squirting a little lemon juice on the crepe, add some powdered sugar, and roll or fold. Dust with more powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries and maple syrup.
