INGREDIENTS

for 12 crepes with a diameter of 8.27 inches: Eggs 3; Orange juice ½ cup (110 g); Sunflower seed oil 1.3 tbsp (20 g); Type 00 flour 1 ½ cup (180 g); Sugar 5 tsp (20 g)

For filling and decorating: Orange marmelade 0.6 cup (200 g); Powdered sugar to taste

Preparation

How to prepare Dairy-Free Crepes

To prepare dairy-free crepes, first squeeze the oranges, strain the juice through a sieve 1, and set aside. In a bowl, crack the eggs 2 and beat them with a hand whisk 3.

Add the sugar and incorporate it into the eggs 4. Add the sunflower oil 5, the orange juice 6, and mix.

Add the flour 7 and mix vigorously 8 to obtain a smooth batter without lumps 9.

Heat a 8.27-inch diameter pan and lightly grease it with sunflower oil 10. Pour a ladle of batter into the center of the pan 11, ensuring the batter spreads evenly to the edges 12.

Cook for about a minute until golden, then use a spatula to flip the crepe 13 and cook for another minute. Once cooked, transfer it to a plate and repeat the same steps until the batter is finished. You can top your crepes by placing a tablespoon of jam in the center 14 and then folding them in half 15.

Fold again in half to form a triangle 16 and sprinkle with powdered sugar 17. Your dairy-free crepe is ready to be enjoyed 18!

Storage

Dairy-free crepes are best enjoyed immediately, but they can also be stored. Once cooled, stack them separating with parchment paper sheets to prevent sticking, wrap them in plastic wrap, or store them in a sealed container. This way, you can keep them in the fridge for 2 days.

Advice

You can flavor the batter with vanilla bean seeds or cinnamon powder. We used orange marmalade, but you can fill them as you like, with fruit preserves or creams.
