Low-Carb Cassava Crepes

Low-Carb Cassava Crepes Recipe

** Servings:** 8-10 crepes

Food Safety Concerns:

• Ensure you purchase fresh, high-quality cassava flour from a reputable supplier.
• Check the crepes for any visible signs of spoilage or damage before consumption.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cassava flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sweetener (such as Swerve or Erythritol)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, eggs, melted butter, granulated sweetener, and salt until smooth.
2. If using xanthan gum, whisk it in at this stage to help with crepe texture and prevent it from becoming too sticky.
3. The batter should have a thick, but still pourable, consistency. If it's too thick, add a small amount of water (about 1 tablespoon at a time).
4. Heat a small non-stick pan or crepe pan over medium heat.
5. Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and tilt the pan to evenly coat the bottom.
6. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the edges start to curl and the surface is dry.
7. Loosen the crepe with a spatula and flip it over.
8. Cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, until the other side is lightly browned.
9. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
10. Allow the crepes to cool completely on a wire rack before filling and serving.

Tips:

• Use a crepe pan or a non-stick pan with a flat bottom to achieve even crepes.
• Don't overfill the crepes, as this can cause them to tear or become difficult to roll.
• Experiment with different fillings, such as savory ingredients like spinach and feta or sweet options like strawberries and whipped cream.
• Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Simply thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave or oven.
