FAQs

Can I use whole eggs instead of just egg whites?
Yes, you can use whole eggs, but the texture and nutritional content will change. Using whole eggs will increase the fat content.

Can I make these crepes gluten-free?
Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free if you use almond flour. Make sure your other ingredients, like the milk alternative, are also gluten-free.

How thick should the batter be?
The batter should be pourable but not too runny. It should coat the back of a spoon. If it seems too thick, add a little more milk.
