My all time favorite crepe recipe comes from The Power of Your Plate by Dr. Neal D. Barnard. The recipe is actually called Eggless Omelets, although I find it more satisfying as a crepe.
Combine in a blender:
2 cups flour (I use whole wheat pastry)
1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes (although I use powder and it works fine)
1/2 tsp baking powder
3 cups water
1 Tbs oil (I use olive oil)
Blend until smooth. The recipe says it can rest for up to 30 minutes or even overnight but I always use it right away and it works fine. Pour 1/4 cup onto a nonstick griddle (I use cast iron) over medium high heat (I cook it closer to medium but that may be a quirk of my stove).
Either tip the pan to spread out thinly or use the back of a spoon. Let cook until the edges begin to curl up. Flip and cook on the other side. Serve stuffed with whatever you like.
I made them this weekend and stuffed them with Chickpeas and Greens and Cajun Black Eyed Peas. Delicious!

Thanks for posting this, Katie. I'll give it a try! 'Course my favorite filling for crepes was always chocolate... :)
LOL I know this recipe well...
I was once terribly obsessed with it and had to have an eggless omelet with veggies every morning. That went on for about a week and I haven't made it since. Thanks for reminding me of it. :- )
P.S. I also like to use 1/2 chickpea flour in the batter because it makes it eggier, more like a *real* omelet.
I hope you're enjoying your time and keeping busy, I know I am!
Chile,
Chocolate is always a good choice!
