Hearty Buckwheat Groat Crêpes are thin, tender, and lightly sweet with a warm hint of cinnamon. Soaked buckwheat blends into a silky, gluten-free batter that cooks into flexible, lacy rounds perfect for rolling or folding. Serve them for breakfast or brunch with fruit and yogurt, or as a light dinner base with savory fillings.
