In the first of a series on GF/DF flatbreads and pancakes, I share a recipe for French crepes that use cornstarch instead of wheat flour. As a result, they are lighter, fluffier, and definitely delicious. And, of course, they are gluten free!

National Tapioca Day was yesterday. It inspired me to make a good old-fashioned comfort dish with a modern, grown-up spin.
