Vegan crepes that don't fall apart when turning

Seasoned Advice Asked by eternal_student on December 29, 2020

When I make crepes I use eggs, flour and milk for the dough and tiny amount of oil for the pan. I usually use whole wheat flower. Sometimes half-white half-whole wheat. They always end up very thin and perfect.

Replacing milk with various liquids (soy milk, almond milk…) seems to work fine.

I would like to stop using eggs, so I made several attempts with various egg substitutes, and I can’t make it work for crepes. They always fall apart when I try to flip them.

Which ingredient would help with with that?

So far I have tried:

  • The Neat Egg
  • Ener G Egg Replacer
  • flax
  • extra oil
  • applesauce
  • bananas

Those all work for thick pancakes, but (at least not for me) for crepes.

There are questions related to replacing eggs, but are too generic:

One Answer

First be wary of language barrier. In some regions/countries people are making crepes and calling tham pancakes. What in US is called pancakes in some regions/countries call for buttermilk and is called (for example) "Racuchy".

Anyway - use aquafaba. Just yesterday I made some crepes with it. They are nice, soft, "rolly" and apart from a little darker color there is almost no difference in texture. There is a little in taste but if you add any flavouring agent it's not palpatable.
