I decided to make some crepes starting with my sourdough discard when I fed my starter. I liked this recipe because you could make your crepes right away instead of letting the batter sit overnight.
Once your crepes are made you can add any filling you like. We eat crepes quite often around here. We like them both sweet and savory. Breakfast crepes are most often sweet like these Palacsinta topped with berries and powdered sugar. These lemongrass crepes filled with gingered blueberries were delicious. These crepes filled with dark cherries made a perfect breakfast as did these mixed berry crepes with blueberry syrup.
This was my first time making crepes using sourdough but they turned out well. I will probably make them again as I am always looking for ways to use my sourdough discard. These crepes would work as well savory as they did sweet. I filled them with a mixture of cream cheese and blueberries that I pureed in the food processor.

DeleteI love that you can make these ahead of time! I've never been very good at making crepes. Mine usually taste like eggs. I'll have to try these.
ReplyDeleteThese were really more eggy than my other crepes. The original recipe did not call for any flour but after I made the first crepe I decided to add flour as it was very eggy.
DeleteWhat a fabulous use for discard, they look delicious! Crepes are so fabulously versatile for fillings.
