  • Yield: 15-20 crêpes 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the crêpes:

200 g/1.5 cups of flour
1 tsp baking powder
200 ml/6.7 oz unsweetened plant milk
200 ml/6.7 oz sparkling water
2 tbsp spinach powder (optional)
1 tbsp spirulina (optional)
salt

For the almond cheese:

200 g/2 cups of ground almonds
1 cup of unsweetened plant milk
2 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp tahini
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup of chopped dried cranberries
salt, pepper

To serve:

fresh chives
pink peppercorns


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, milk, sparkling water and a pinch of salt.
  2. Heat up a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. I use a 18 cm/7 inch skillet, but you can use a larger one, if you prefer. That way you’ll have fewer but larger crêpes. Scoop a small ladle full of batter into the pan, and tilt the pan to coat the surface with batter as evenly as possible.
  3. Cook crêpe for 1-2 minutes, until the edges crisp up, then flip over gently, and cook for about 30 seconds on the other side as well. Place crêpe on a plate.
  4. Cook 2-3 more crêpes, then add half of the spinach powder to the batter and mix well. Make 3-4 more crêpes, then add the rest of the spinach powder, then 3-4 more crêpes that way. Then half of the spirulina, then cook more crêpes, then the rest of the spirulina, until you use up all batter. Add a few spoons of sparkling water each time your batter gets thicker, and make sure it’s always well mixed. Set aside crêpes until ready to assemble the purses.
  5. For the almond cheese add almonds, milk, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to a blender, and blend until smooth. Stir in cranberries, and adjust taste if needed.
  6. To assemble Green Crêpe Purses place 1 tablespoon of almond cheese in the center of each crêpe. Gather sides to close the crêpe, and tie around with a long chive. Repeat until you have used up every crêpe. Sprinkle with pink peppercorns and serve with any leftover almond cheese. Enjoy!
