7. Chemo Half Done!!

With the 6th treatment behind me, I am pleased to have reached the half-way point!  Hurrah!!! 😊 I celebrated by making my favorite sweet buckwheat crepes, a real treat that always reminds me of my grandmother.  Yum!!

Small Sweet Crepes   Gluten-free and high in fiber

Ingredients:                                                                                                      

• 1 cup of buckwheat flour                                            
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1/4 cup of sugar  
• 1/4 cup of powdered milk in 1 1/4 c of water  
• or use 1 1/4 c of (lactose free) milk            
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten 
• sunflower or canola oil                                                                          

You will need:  mixing bowl, smaller skillet, ladle, spatula, measuring tools

Thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.   Add the water and the eggs.  Stir well.  Make sure the batter is runny enough to pour.  Heat your skillet to medium-high heat.  Coat  all of the bottom of the skillet with a dollar size bit of oil.   Ladle the batter into it, about 1/3 of a cup.  When tiny pinholes start to appear and the surface has lost the “glossy look”, flip it over with a spatula.  Check for burning.   Markings  should be brown, not black.   Repeat.   Stir the batter before each ladle.

Makes  7 to 8 crepes.  (You can use a non-stick skillet and no oil, in which case there will be no markings.  They will look really pale though.  But they will taste just as good!)
