Savory Crepes with Bacon and Mushroom White Sauce
These savory crepes use rice flour for both the crepe batter and the sauce. The easy-to-make white sauce is scrumptious and creamy. The crepes are moist and very filling.
-
Add rice flour into the milk and egg mixture to make the batter. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve the desired thickness of the crepes. If the batter is too dense, the crepes will be too thick.
-
All rice flour is naturally gluten-free. Make this dish completely gluten-free by using gluten-free substitutes for other ingredients as needed.

Lightly coat a skillet with oil. Pour the batter into the skillet. Swirl to spread evenly. If making individual servings, adjust the size accordingly.
Cook until the bottom is light brown. Flip and cook the other side, then set aside. Repeat.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
For the sauce
In a skillet over medium heat, add butter. Sauté onions, bacon, and mushrooms.
In a bowl, combine milk and rice flour. Add the mixture into the skillet, and simmer until the sauce thickens.
Add chicken bouillon. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Spoon the sauce into the center of each crepe, and fold over. Place in a casserole dish, overwrapping slightly.
