How to Make Sourdough Crepes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, milk, eggs, melted butter, salt, and sugar until smooth.
  2. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight (8-12 hours). The longer rest allows the flavors to meld and the crepes to become extra tender.
  3. Before cooking, whisk the batter again to ensure it's well combined.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. You should see a faint shimmer of oil, but it should not be smoking.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet, swirling quickly to create a thin crepe.
  6. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown. Flip when the edges begin to lift and the top looks set.
  7. Stack the cooked crepes on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and prevent them from drying out.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite fillings – fresh berries, whipped cream, Nutella, lemon curd, or savory options like cheese and ham are all fantastic choices!
