Recipe from Ricki's Kitchen:

Corn Crêpes   

These delectable thin pancakes take advantage of corn kernels right in the batter, but you can also fill them with more kernels if you like. Fresh organic corn is a good source of several B vitamins and Vitamin C; it’s also chock full of fibre. These also make a great, portable snack! 

3 T. sunflower oil
1 c. unflavored soy milk or almond milk

1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 c. corn kernels, freshly cooked or canned (reserve cooking liquid or can liquid)
1/2 c. corn liquid (from cooking or from can)
1 T. finely ground flax seeds
1 T. agave nectar or organic sugar
3/4 c. light spelt flour
3/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. baking soda
3 T. organic cornmeal
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. dried dill weed
1/4 tsp. paprika 

In a medium bowl, combine the oil, soymilk, vinegar, kernels, corn liquid, flax seeds, and agave nectar.  Mix well and set aside while you prepare the dry ingredients, or at least two minutes. 

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the remaining ingredients and mix to blend.   

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir to mix well (a few small lumps may remain in the batter, which will be thin).   

Heat a small non-stick frypan over medium heat.  Using 1/3-1/2 cup batter at a time, fill the pan and tilt if necessary to distribute the batter evenly. Allow 3-4 minutes before flipping the crêpe.  (The crêpe is ready to turn when bubbles appear and pop on the top surface, leaving a few small “craters,” and the edge of the crêpe is beginning to look dry).  Cook the second side briefly, only long enough to dry the surface, about a minute. 

Remove crêpes to a heating platter and continue with the batter until it is all used.  Serve immediately. Makes about 6 crêpes. 

Serving ideas

  • Fill cooked crêpes with guacamole and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts
  • Fill with tofu scramble of your choice, top with sprouts and grated carrot
  • Fill with Greek or Caesar salad
  • Spread cold crêpes with hummus, top with tomato and lettuce for a great sandwich, or use as a base for your favorite sandwich spread
