Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 ½ cups whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 cups cold heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Place the gluten-free flour, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and kosher salt in a large bowl, and whisk to combine well for 30 seconds. Add the eggs, ½ tsp vanilla extract, and melted butter, blending well after each addition.
  • Add the whole milk while whisking to combine in a slow and steady stream for 2 minutes. Continue to whisk the mixture until the batter is smooth and thin. Continue to whisk until it begins to thicken.
  • Place the batter covered, in the refrigerator to sit for about 30 minutes until chilled. It should thicken a bit as it chills.
  • Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Once the skillet is hot, hold the skillet just above the heat source and ladle ¾ cup of batter into the pan. As soon as the batter hits the pan, swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly and thinly into a circle.
  • Place the pan on the heat and allow to cook until the crepe is set about 1-2 minutes, and flip with a wide spatula. Allow the other side to cook for about 30 seconds or until set.
  • Transfer the crepe to a baking pan and repeat with the rest of the batter, stacking the crepes on top of one other as they’re finished, yielding about 20 crepes.
  • In a large bowl with a hand mixer place the chilled heavy cream. Beat the heavy cream, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract until stiff, shiny peaks form. Whipping the cream slowly yields a more stable whipped cream.
  • Assemble your cake at least 30 minutes before you want to serve it by spreading a thin layer of whipped cream between each crepe.

Notes

- For perfectly thin crêpes, ensure your batter is the consistency of heavy cream before chilling. If it's too thick after chilling, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency.
- When whipping the heavy cream, ensure it is very cold. This helps it achieve stiff peaks more quickly and maintains stability.
- If you notice the crêpes tearing easily, try reducing the heat slightly or adding a touch more melted butter to the batter.
