Sourdough Discard Crepes


  • Author: Lydia Grace
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 Crepes 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard (about 240g; at room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup milk (180 ml; whole, almond, or oat milk all work fine!)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g; feel free to sub spelt or whole wheat flour)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, skip if going savory)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the wet stuff: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your sourdough discard, milk, and eggs. You want this mixture to look smooth and slightly frothy (pro tip: let your discard come to room temp first so it blends easier).
  2. Add the dry bits: Sprinkle in the flour, sugar (if using), and salt. Stir until the batter is nice and lump-free. It should have a consistency similar to heavy cream. If it feels thick, add a splash more milk.
  3. Melt that butter: Stir in the melted butter. Trust me, this step gives your crepes that buttery richness we all love.
  4. Warm the pan: Heat your non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a tiny bit of butter and swirl it around. When the butter starts to sizzle, you’re ready to go.
  5. Pour the batter: Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan. Swirl the pan immediately to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. (Tip: Act fast—it sets quickly!)
  6. Cook & flip: Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges look dry and start curling up slightly. Gently flip the crepe with a spatula. Cook 30 seconds more on the other side and transfer to a plate.
  7. Repeat: Keep going until you use up all the batter—this recipe makes about 10-12 crepes, depending on your pan size.
