Crepes with banana and Greek yoghurt
This crepe batter includes some yoghurt, which makes the flour more digestible when the batter is left to stand overnight; it also makes for silky textured pancakes. They are a little more delicate than wheat based crepes, so don’t be disheartened if your first one isn’t perfect. Sorghum makes a malty, slightly wholemeal crepe, but you could substitute other single flours or use a mixture: teff and buckwheat will give a darker, more flexible crepe, while millet, maize and rice flour will give mild flavoured, slightly stiffer pancakes. This recipe is an extract from River Cottage Gluten Free (Bloomsbury, $45).
