1 tablespoon trans-free margarine, melted
1 cup skim milk
1 large egg
1/2 cup egg substitute
2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 teaspoon sugar substitute
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, optional
Butter-flavored cooking spray
Note: To freeze, stack crepes with a small square of wax paper between each crepe. Wrap stack with plastic, then slip stack into a plastic freezer bag. The frozen crepes will easily separate so you can remove exactly the number you need. Let crepes thaw before using in a recipe. Frozen crepes should be used within three months.
