Buckwheat Crepes

So ds6 wanted crepes. can I say I HATE making crepes? the recipes I have made before require an hour of the batter "sitting" before you can cook them. and it is a pain to stand over the stove and cook one after another. but dh told him that if he asked me nicely, I would make crepes for lunch today. so Bug asked me very nicely, and dh "encouraged" him (and me) by setting a timer for when I needed to start these. so I rolled my eyes and pulled out my King Arthur Flour Whole Grain cookbook.
and what did I find?
the best crepe recipe EVER!!! So I am going to share.... my ~~notes~~ changes in red

1/2 c spelt flour
1/4 buckwheat flour
2 t sugar
1/8 t salt
3/4 c milk (I used dry milk - mixed with the dry ingredients and water in the wet)
2 T brandy (I don't use alcohol, so I used 1 t vanilla)
2 large eggs
1 T unsalted butter, melted (I used reg. salted... tried to leave out the 1/8 t salt, but it needed more salt, so I added it after I had cooked one crepe)

add dry ingredients to blender and mix thoroughly. seperately mix milk, eggs, vanilla, melted butter, and pour into running blender. mix until smooth. cook as you do crepes.

I doubled the recipe, and got 17-ish crepes (some are thicker than they need to be)

these were great!

ps - my tomato pot (which has 8 seeds hidden in there) suddenly had two TALL - like one inch - seedlings this morning.... I hope they are tomatoes and not a weed. we will see....
