Easy Fresh Milled Sourdough Crepes
This is an easy meal to put together. You can make savory or sweet crepes – the possibilities are endless! It is also a great option to get the protein in eggs when you get tired of the typical egg breakfast. The addition of fresh milled flour adds nutrients and makes it even more protein packed! You can easily 1/2 this recipe if you don't have 6 eggs.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup sourdough starter this can be discard
- 1/3-1/2 cup fresh milled flour I used hard white wheat. The amount you need will depend on the stiffness of your starter.
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla optional, do not use if you plan to make savory crepes.
- 2 TBS sucanat or sweetener of choice
Instructions
Batter
-
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. You want a smooth batter that is similar in texture to a smoothie. Set aside.
Heat a saute pan (you can use cast iron, non-stick etc) over medium heat.
Spray a little avocado oil on the pan, making sure the entire pan is covered. Pour around 1/4 cup batter (depending on the size of your saute pan) into the pan and roll the pan to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. You want the bottom of the pan to be covered with a thin layer of batter.
Let the batter cook undisturbed until the top begins to look dry. When you initially pour in the batter it will look wet. Flip the crepe using a rubber spatula and cook the second side for around 30-45 seconds depending on the thickness of your batter. Remove crepe to a plate, you can use your spatula or just flip the pan.
Start the cooking process again until all the batter is used.
Note – the first crepe is usually kind of a mess. Don't be discouraged, the more you make, the better you get.
Here are some ideas for filling.
- Apple butter – this is my go-to on mornings when I don’t have much time. Spread some yummy apple butter on the crepe, fold, and top with whipped cream.
- Chocolate hazelnut spread – I don’t think I need to explain why this is DELICIOUS! Just check your ingredients since the usual brand has a lot of junk.
- Peanut butter & jelly – if you have a PB&J loving family, try it on a crepe!
- Sweetened cream cheese – Mix some softened cream cheese with your favorite sweetener, spread on your crepes, fold and enjoy! You can also add a little jelly to take this to the next level.
- Bananas & ________ – I have done peanut butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, almond butter, caramel…be creative!
- Scrambled eggs & ham – this is an easy savory filling that really makes it a meal.
- Smoked salmon, cream cheese, & capers – yummy and sophisticated.
- Sandwich fillings – you can make an easy wrap using crepes as long as you don’t overload with fillings…or maybe go ahead and overfill and eat it with a fork!
If you want to make these crepes even easier, make extra and freeze them. Be sure and put parchment or wax paper between each crepe so they won’t stick.
