Ingredients

  • 1 cup Flour of choice whole wheat flour, buckwheat flour, all purpose flour
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1.5 cups Milk
  • 1 cup leftover sourdough starter discard
  • 6 tbs melted butter
  • 4 tbs water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Butter or coconut oil for cooking

Instructions

  • 1. Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl 

  • 2. Slowly whisk in the milk, eggs, and butter. Use a hand whisk or an immersion blender with the whisk attachment.

  • 3. Incorporate everything together until you reach a smooth consistency. 

  • 4. Cover with plastic wrap & allow the batter to rest in the fridge for 30mins-1hr

  • 5. Heat up your skillet over medium heat, and add a small pat of butter or oil. The consistency of the batter should be very liquid, you will need a ladle. 

  • 6. Use the first crepe as a test. Drop some batter in the pan, and swirl around with a circular motion of your wrist until spread into a thin layer. 

  • 7. Cook until the first side is light brown, then flip and let cook on the second side 

  • 8. Palace finished crepe on a plate. Optional: dry extra grease off with a paper towel.

  • 9. Repeat with the rest of your batter, adjusting the amount of batter depending on the size of your frying pan 

  • 10. Keep your finished crepes in the oven in a warm setting to keep them warm for eating, or serve right away from your pan!

This crepe recipe is delicious when served warm (our favorite way) but you can also refrigerate for later use. You can then either reheat your crepes or serve them cold. You can also place your filling inside & wrap your crepe up, then store it in the fridge. If the filling is very liquidy, the crepe might get a little soggy. However, if your filling is more solid, it will be delicious later on.
