Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, heavy cream, and a dash of cinnamon until well combined. Ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.
Coat the Tortillas
Dip each almond flour tortilla into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before proceeding to the next step.
Cook the Crepes
Heat a pan over medium heat. If desired, melt a small amount of butter in the pan to prevent sticking and add flavor. Place the coated tortilla in the pan and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until similarly golden. Repeat this process for each tortilla, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Serve
Once cooked, fold the crepes and serve them with maple syrup drizzled on top. Alternatively, you can roll them up with yogurt and jam in the middle for a different and delicious variation.
Notes
– Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; cook one or two tortillas at a time for the best results.
– Adjust the sweetness of the batter by adding more or less maple syrup to suit your taste preference.
– Store any leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat them on a skillet before serving.
