1/2 cup gf ap flour or sorghum (or any
soft flour really)
2 eggs or egg substitutes whisked
pinch salt
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup milk of choice
optional : 1 tsp powdered sugar
Whisk well. Slowly pour 2 tb melted
butter or margarine, or coconut oil while continuing to whisk until texture is smooth.
Preheat and oil a skillet or griddle at
medium heat.
Pour out 1/3 to 1/4 cup of batter and
spread either by rotating the pan or by using the back of a spoon.
Once the small bubbles set on the top
of your crepe gently loosen the edges and flip. Allow to cook about
30-45 seconds. Remove to plate. Repeat. Whisk to smooth the batter as
needed. If you are planning on preparing multiple batches for storage
or freezing please separate them with layers of parchment. Seal in
airtight bag once cool to store.

"I'm cheap" blintz filling
1/2 lb water pack tofu set out or
squeeze slowly and gently to drain (do not freeze). Mash the tofu
until it almost smooth.
Add a scant pinch salt.
Add 2 tsp sweetener (powdered sugar or
honey or 1/4tsp stevia), 2 tb cream or milk of choice and 1 tb vanilla extract
(gf if needed). Whip. Use as crepe filling and top with fruit.

Savory filling: I'm going to be real here. If you are gf sandwich bread is usually expensive and unsatisfying. Crepes are not either. Anything you can put in a warm sandwich can be shoved in a crepe,toasted lightly on both sides and nommed.
My favorite is as follows... 2 thin slices red onion, 1 handful leafy cooking greens(sorrel,spinach, arugula, cress, chard...I don't care) 1/4 crisp apple and 2 slices cheddar, swiss, harvarti, parmesan ,etc..cheese. I eat the rest of the apple as a side with some carrots. Lunchtime crisis averted.
