Buckwheat crepes are a popular French dish that originated in the Brittany region. Buckwheat flour, made from ground buckwheat groats, gives the crepes a nutty, earthy flavor and a soft texture. Unlike regular flour, buckwheat flour is gluten-free and can be enjoyed by people with gluten allergies or intolerance. Buckwheat crepes are best served warm and can be filled with a variety of ingredients, from cheese and ham to fruits and cream.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, eggs, milk and water.
2.	Beat with an electric mixer until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
3.	Set the batter aside to rest for at least 30 minutes.
4.	Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil and let it get hot.
5.	Add about 1/4 cup of batter and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly.
6.	Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly golden.
7.	Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the second side is lightly golden.
8.	Repeat with the rest of the batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
