Instructions

1

Whisk the buckwheat flour, egg, salt, and water in a bowl until you have a smooth, thin batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

2

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil.

3

Pour in half of the batter, swirling the pan to form a thin crepe. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter.

4

Spread each warm crepe generously with hummus.

5

Drain the sauerkraut well and scatter it evenly over the hummus layer.

6

Fold the crepes in half or roll them up, drizzle with a little remaining olive oil if desired, and serve warm.

FAQ

How many servings does this recipe make?
It makes 2 servings, with one filled crepe per person.
Is buckwheat gluten-free?
Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free, but choose certified gluten-free flour if cross-contact is a concern.
Is this recipe vegan?
No. It contains an egg. To make it vegan, use a suitable egg substitute and check that the hummus is vegan.
Why should the batter rest?
Resting the batter for 10 minutes helps the flour hydrate and can make the crepes easier to cook.
How thin should the crepe batter be?
It should be smooth and pourable, similar to a thin pancake batter. Add a small amount of water if needed.
How do I stop the crepes from sticking?
Use a well-heated non-stick pan and lightly coat it with olive oil before cooking each crepe.
Why should the sauerkraut be drained?
Draining removes excess liquid so the crepes are less likely to become soggy.
Can I prepare the crepes in advance?
Yes. Store the cooked, unfilled crepes covered in the refrigerator and warm them gently before adding the hummus and sauerkraut.
Does this recipe support digestion?
It provides fiber from buckwheat, hummus, and sauerkraut. Individual responses to fiber and fermented foods vary, so increase portions gradually if needed.
