CREPES


Ingredients: 1/2 cup unbleached white flour * 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour * 1/4 cup soy flour * 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional) * 1/2 teaspoon full baking powder * 1/2 teaspoon full salt * 3 cup soy milk

Method: Mix dry ingredients and make a well in the middle. Pour in soy milk and whip together. Batter should be very thin. Heat nonstick crepe pan over moderate heat. Pour in about 1/3 cup of batter, tilting and moving the pan so that batter covers the bottom of pan with a thin coating. Cook until it is browned underneath and starts to pull away from the edge of pan. Carefully flip it over and brown on other side. Serve hot and also enjoy these crepes as a base for sweet fillings and sauces. Try them spread with jelly or applesauce or filled with Southwest Scrambles. You can even use them in place of noodles for manicotti.
