"Buckwheat has been used for delicate crepes in France for years, amazingly Buckwheat is not actually a grain and these babies are gluten free! I have used the Chilean blueberries to add amazing flavour and stunning colour, great for every occasion from breakfast through to dessert. Make them naughtier with the addition of vanilla ice cream." - Sophie Mitchell
