The ideal camping breakfast?? 🥞🍓🫐🧀
We have what we call crepes (really a version of a Galette) most days at home.
My kids have them for breakfast, I often have them for lunch. They are quick and easy, gluten free, protein rich, higher in fibre than normal pancakes and can be sweet (for my kids) or savoury (for me!).
I've never made them on holiday before but have discovered they are perfect for this. They mix up really easily because they are gluten free, you never get lumps in the batter. They cook in minutes so don't use too much gas.
You just need a frying pan and some fillings: sugar, lemon, berries, peanut butter, Nutella (don't judge, we are on holiday!), cheese, ham, rocket, smoked salmon, eggs etc).
Recipe
150g Buckwheat flour
2 eggs
300 ml milk
1-2 tbsp ground flax seed
* Put the flour a bowl and break in the eggs
* Whisk with a fork until the eggs are mixed in. Add about 50-100ml of the milk and stir until it makes a thick smooth batter
* Add the rest of the milk and stir until smooth.
* Stir in the flaxseed and leave the mixture to settle for 5 mins
* Add water until you get the consistency of double cream
* Melt a blob of butter in a good frying pan (non stick is best) over a high heat
* Pour in enough mixture to coat the bottom of the pan whilst swirling it.
* Cook until the edges brown (around 1-2 mins). Flip over using a spatula and cook for another minute.
* Fill with sweet or savoury fillings and roll or fold.
No two crepes come out the same! If the pan is very hot, they are lacey with bubbles and go more crispy (how I like them), but the first one is usually more like a crepe without holes and less crispy (how my son loves them). Play around with it and see what you like best.
