Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Rice Pancakes

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Add in sugar and a pinch of salt, then mix again.

Gradually stir in the rice flour and poppy seeds. The batter should be smooth; if it’s too thick, add a little more milk.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush it lightly with vegetable oil or use coconut oil if preferred. Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, cooking each pancake until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear firm.

Flip the pancake and cook until golden brown on the other side. Keep them warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 2

Make the Salted Caramel Sauce

In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and cold water. Cook over low heat, without stirring, until the mixture turns a light amber color.

Remove from heat and carefully add in butter, stirring until smooth.

Return the pan to low heat, allowing the mixture to darken slightly, achieving a deeper amber color for about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from the heat and gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously; the mixture will bubble up. Stir until it’s uniform and creamy.

Finally, add the salt, giving it one last stir. Allow for it to cool, and it will thicken as it does.

Transfer the caramel to a glass jar and store tightly sealed until ready to use. Enjoy your pancakes drizzled with this delicious salted caramel!

Servings

Once you've made these delightful crepes, the serving possibilities are endless! Enjoy them fresh from the skillet, filled with your favorite ingredients or garnished with a drizzle of salted caramel. Why not try them with fresh fruit?

Equipment

Non-stick skillet

A good non-stick skillet is essential for creating beautifully cooked crepes without them sticking. If you don’t have one, be sure to use plenty of oil or butter to prevent sticking!

Measuring cups and spoons

Accurate measurements ensure your batter has the right consistency. Invest in a set to make your baking easier!

We recommend:
Glass jar

For storing your salted caramel sauce, a glass jar with a lid will keep it fresh longer. Plus, it’s easier to pour from!

Variations

If you’re looking to switch things up, try these irresistible variations! For a gluten-free option: stick with rice flour as the base, but add some almond or coconut flour for a unique twist! 🥥 Another great choice would be to incorporate spices like cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter for added flavor.✨

Vegan lovers: you can replace the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water or a commercial egg replacer. Additionally, swap dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk, and use a dairy-free butter alternative for the caramel to enjoy this indulgent treat without the animal products. 🌱 Enjoy your sweet creations guilt-free while satisfying your taste buds!

    You can substitute poppy seeds with chia seeds, or even omit them entirely for plain rice crepes.
