Whole wheat sweet crepes ( vellam dosai)


We all have our comfort foods. Vellam dosai is my mom's. She used to make this on Friday nights when we were kids. Not one of favorite though. I prefer savory crepes to sweet ones. This one is very easy to make for anyone especially kids if they are craving for some midnight snack or breakfast for dinner I made this for dinner last night. My mom loved it and had the left over crepes fir breakfast this morning.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup rice flour
3/4 cup Panela brown sugar(vellam or gud), coarsely pounded
water to dissolve brown sugar
2 teaspoons cardamom powder
ghee for making crepes
maple syrup(optional) for serving

Method:

1. Dissolve brown sugar in a large bowl. Mix wheat flour and rice flour in, adding enough water to make a batter. Batter should be pouring consistency.
2. Heat griddle on medium. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon melted ghee on the hot griddle. Pour 1/4 cup batter. Spread gently if you want thin crepe or do not spread if you want it like pancake. Drizzle ghee around the crepe. Flip it over when color changes and cook on the other side before removing from griddle.
3. Serve warm as is or with maple syrup.
