The Allure of French Crepes

Crepes are a cornerstone of French culinary tradition, and at Creperie Saint Germain, we strive to bring that authentic experience to you. Our crepes range from sweet to savory, ensuring there's something for everyone. However, it’s our buckwheat crepes that stand out, offering a unique and delicious taste of Brittany.


The Magic of Buckwheat Crepes

Originating from the Brittany region in northwest France, buckwheat crepes are known for their distinctive, nutty flavor and savory nature. These crepes are naturally gluten-free, making them a perfect choice for those with dietary restrictions or anyone looking to enjoy a wholesome meal.


How Buckwheat Crepes Are Made

Creating buckwheat crepes is an art form that involves a few key steps:

  • Ingredients: We use premium buckwheat flour mixed with water, salt, and occasionally a touch of milk or egg to create a smooth, rich batter. The buckwheat flour lends the crepes their characteristic dark hue and earthy flavor.

  • Preparation: The batter is allowed to rest for several hours or overnight. This crucial step ensures the flour fully hydrates and the flavors develop perfectly.

  • Cooking: Using a hot, flat griddle or crepe pan, the batter is poured and spread thinly with a special wooden spreader. Each crepe cooks for a few minutes on each side until it reaches a perfect golden color with slightly crispy edges.

  • Filling: Buckwheat crepes are traditionally filled with savory ingredients. Popular options include ham, cheese, eggs, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and smoked salmon. The combinations are endless, allowing for creative and delicious meals.
