Place the quinoa in a coffee grinder. Grind into a flour. Store any unused quinoa flour in a zip-lock freezer bag in the freezer. You can incorporate this flour into recipes that do not use yeast. Quinoa does not have gluten so it's great for people who don't tolerate foods with gluten.

In a mixing bowl, stir 2 eggs, 1/2 cup non-fat milk and 1/3 cup quinoa flour. Spray the pan with a small amount of non-stick cooking spray. Place 1/4 cup batter in the pan and move it around so it covers the bottom of pan. Cook for 2 minutes on medium heat, flip and cook on the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Remove with a spatula onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining crepe batter. This recipe will make 4 crepes.
