GF (gluten free) peach crepe

my poor baby is allergic to wheat. sadly, he is missing a lot of good stuff out there. if you check the label carefully, you will realize, 9 out of 10 products contained wheat. from breads to noodles, from chips to ice cream cone, from nuggets to soy sauce... it is difficult to find foods that do not contains wheat.

because of that, our family start to eat pretty healthy. it's hard to live 100% wheat-free living, but we certainly can live without wheat since there are so many healthy alternates. asian do not depends very much on wheat anyway. i recalled my childhood years, we don't exposed to a lot of wheat like we do now, we don't eat bread everyday, i never had ravioli when i was at his age, i'll be lucky if i had burger twice a year. we had kuih muih, agar agar, rice ball, etc. all these are made from glutinuous rice flour and plain rice flour. wheat we have today isn't the same wheat our grandparents had. modern wheat is genetically modified, it does more harm than good to our body, just this reason, i think we should stop eating wheat...

on weekend, he likes to order something different for breakfast. today, i decided to make him - GF peach crepe. golden crepe with peach and top with maple syrup. ooh, i love it, i make one for myself and we both enjoy it together. tho it's gf flour, it tastes just the same like regular crepe. i'm no picky eater, so i don't mind.

very simple ingredients:

1/2C GF all purpose flour
1 egg 3/4C milk
sliced peaces
maple syrup to taste

note: there are many GF flour in the market. i used Bob's Red Mill GF all purpose baking flour

enjoy!
