Buckwheat Crepes with Smoked Salmon and Crème Fraîche
Buckwheat gives these crepes a nutty flavor that pairs well with savory fillings. Since buckwheat flour has no gluten, it is often mixed with wheat flour, as it is here, to ensure a tender texture. A buckwheat batter is also thicker than an all-wheat batter, so work quickly to spread the batter once it is in the pan.
