Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour (125 mL)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (125 mL)
- 1 Tbsp wheat germ (15 mL)
- 1 1/4 cups skim milk (310 mL)
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar (30 mL)
- 1 Tbsp canola oil (15 mL)
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl combine flours, wheat germ, milk, egg, sugar, and canola oil.
- Beat ingredients with mixer until smooth. The batter should be the consistency of thin cream.
- Heat a lightly oiled large non-stick crepe pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Using a ¼ cup (60 mL) measure, pour batter into crepe pan. Lift and tilt the pan to spread the batter.
- Return the pan to the heat and let crepe cook about 1 minute, until lightly browned. Quickly turn crepe over and let cook an additional 30 seconds to set the other side.
- Repeat to make more crepes. The pan should not have to be oiled again.
- Serve with your favourite toppings, such as fruit, yogurt, and nut butters.
