Mold Detox Friendly Gluten Free Buckwheat Crepes
Buckwheat has a deep, earthy flavor that makes these thin, delicate crepes taste far more interesting than anything made with conventional flour. The batter comes together with just a handful of clean, straightforward ingredients — buckwheat flour, eggs, whole milk, water, and a little melted butter — which is exactly what you want when you're being mindful about what goes into your body. Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free and a smart choice for anyone following a mold-conscious eating plan, since it sidesteps the wheat and grain-based ingredients that can be more problematic. The 30-minute batter rest is a small but important step that lets the flour fully hydrate, resulting in crepes that are pliable and smooth rather than brittle or gummy. Once you get the swirl technique down, the whole batch comes together quickly, and the finished crepes stack beautifully without sticking. Fill them sweet or savory — they're versatile enough to anchor a weekend brunch or a light weeknight dinner without any fuss.

- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup water

Instructions
- 1
Whisk together the buckwheat flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, add the eggs, and whisk from the center outward until a thick paste forms. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking, then add the water and melted butter, whisking until the batter is smooth and thin — about the consistency of heavy cream with no lumps remaining.

Cover the bowl and let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. This allows the buckwheat flour to fully hydrate and the batter to relax, which produces more pliable crepes.
