In this recipe, chestnut flour makes very unique crêpes that happen to be both gluten free and free of wheat. The smoky, nutty flavor of chestnut flour complements savory and sweet fillings. Try them stuffed with warm gorgonzola and walnuts, topped with vanilla ice cream and roasted hazelnuts. Delicious! Serve or use immediately, or cool and refrigerate until needed. Cooked crêpes will stay fresh in the refrigerator for two days. You can refrigerate the batter for up to 24 hours.

Whisk milk, eggs, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Mix in chestnut flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until batter is a liquid consistency, mixing well to avoid lumps. Whisk vigorously; pour through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any lumps.

Heat vegetable oil in an 8-inch crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the prepared pan and immediately rotate the pan to spread batter out in a thin layer to cover the entire surface. Cook until edges are browned and easily loosened with a spatula, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with remaining batter.

Green Chile Chicken Stew
This stew will keep you warm and cozy on those cold winter days!! I got this recipe together after months of harassing my friends in New Mexico in search of the perfect green chile chicken stew. I make it at least once every month (I myself use a pressure cooker). Serve with warm flour tortillas. This recipe has a lot of chile peppers. Be sure to tone it down if you can't handle heat!
