Why do we think of some foods as too fancy for everyday life? Crepes fall in this category, but in France they’re actually a very common food, easily made and versatile. In this recipe, a delicate batter cooks up in an instant to satisfy hunger in a hurry. Whisk together gluten-free flour, almond milk, egg and just a touch of butter, sugar, lemon and vanilla for lighter-than-air (and easier-than-pie) French pancakes. Served with a drizzle of antioxidant-rich Manuka honey, they are a sweet, simple pleasure. There really is nothing fancy except the taste!
