Spongy Semolina Crépes
by:
Yeast gives these crepes texture, tenderness, and big spongy bubbles, but it does mean that you need to make the batter at least 1 1/2 hours ahead of time or the day before.

preparation
1. Stir the yeast into 1/4 cup warm water and set aside.
2. Put the flours, salt, sugar, oil, eggs, and water in a blender. Blend on high, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides. Pour the batter into a bowl and stir in the yeast. Cover and set aside to rise for at least 1 1/2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Stir in the steeped saffron threads just before cooking.
3. Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet with a little butter or oil over medium heat. When the pan is hot, pour in 1/4 cup batter. Give the pan a swirl with your wrist to distribute the batter over the surface, then cook until the surface is covered with bubbles and the bottom is set and golden, about 2 minutes. Turn the crepe and cook the second side until set, a minute or less. Stack the finished crepes on top of one another as they finish cooking and they will hold their heat.
