Equipment

  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Cast Iron Pan Or non stick pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sourdough discard flat and runny, 240 grams
  • 2 tbsp melted butter plus more for coating pan
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a non stick pan or cast iron pan on a stovetop on medium heat. Coat the bottom of the pan with butter to prevent sticking.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, sourdough discard, salt and butter. Whisk well until the eggs are completely dissolved.
  • Add in the milk and mix well. The batter should be thin, smooth and runny.
  • Pour 1/4-1/2 cup of batter into the pan. Smooth the crepe batter around with the back of a spatula so that it fills the pan, or tilt the pan and rotate it in a circular motion to spread out the batter.
  • Let the crepe cook for two minutes on the first side. With a spatula, gently lift it up, flip it over, and cook for an additional one to two minutes or until golden brown.
  • Fill with strawberries, berries, or ham and cheese and enjoy!

Notes

  • The secret to great crepes is a very thin batter.  Be sure to spread the batter out in the pan so your crepes will cook up light + crispy.
  • If you don't have sourdough discard, you can stir active starter down and add it to the recipe.
  • Sub almond milk in place of whole milk if desired.
  • For sweet crepes, add in 1/2-1 tablespoon of sugar or honey.  For savory crepes add herbs.
  • Fill with whip cream, honey, nutella, meat and cheese, or eggs!
