Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter discard
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (see notes)
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil for skillet

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Let rest for 1 hour in the fridge.

  2. 2

    Heat a lightly greased, non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and tilt the skillet in a circular motion to distribute the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook until the sides of the batter start to fold back from the skillet and the bottom starts to turn golden brown. About 60-90 seconds.

  4. 4

    Gently turn the crepe over using a large spatula. Cook on the second side for 30-60 seconds or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter. Keep the crepes warm after they cook by stacking them on a baking sheet in a preheated 350°F (176°C) oven until ready to serve.
