Best 7 Sourdough Saturday Buckwheat Crepes Recipes

SOURDOUGH SATURDAY - BUCKWHEAT CREPES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together. I find this is most easily done using a blender, but you can add everything to a bowl and combine with a wire whisk if you prefer. The batter will be very thin for a delicate crepe.
• If you have a crepe pan follow the heating directions that came with it to prepare for cooking.
• A regular skillet can be used also. Heat the skillet over medium high heat, add enough fat (butter or olive oil) to cover the bottom.
• Remove the pan from the heat, pour in about ¼ cup of batter, swirl to cover, and return to the heat. The crepe will quickly appear dry on top and will be golden on the bottom, about 30 seconds.
• Tip the pan and the crepe will fall out onto a plate. Cover with a cloth to keep warm while cooking the remaining crepes.

SOURDOUGH CREPES

Steps:

• Whisk sourdough starter, eggs, melted butter, and salt together in a bowl. Pour in milk and stir until batter reaches a thin, smooth consistency.
• Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add about 1 teaspoon cold butter and let melt. Pour in 1/4 cup batter and tilt pan in a circular motion to spread batter over the bottom. Cook until bottom is light brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully loosen and flip; cook for about 30 seconds more. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.

SOURDOUGH CREPES

Steps:

• Mix starter, 1 cup plus 6 Tbsp. (172 g total) flour, and ¾ cup plus 1 Tbsp. (193 g) room-temperature water (about 80°F) in a medium bowl until no lumps remain. Cover and let sit at room temperature overnight.
• Fold in remaining ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. (78 g total) flour. Then add eggs, milk, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, and 3 Tbsp. melted butter and whisk, adding more milk if needed, until mixture is thick but pourable (you want it to be about the consistency of heavy cream). It will take awhile to work out lumps-a few small lumps are fine, but try to get batter as smooth as possible.
• Pour in enough oil to lightly coat a crepe pan or 10" nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high (this is just to help get things going; you shouldn't need to add more oil to the pan). Pour ¼ cup batter into center of pan and tilt and rotate pan as needed to coat bottom evenly with batter. Cook crepe, undisturbed, until surface looks dry and bottom is golden brown, about 45 seconds. Using tongs or an offset spatula, gently flip crepe and cook just until other side is golden, about 20 seconds. Transfer to a plate and slather a bit of room-temperature butter on top. Repeat process with remaining batter, stacking and buttering crepes as you go.
• Serve crepes with jam, crème fraîche, demerara sugar, lox, and/or more butter as desired.
• Do ahead: Crepes can be made 4 days ahead. Wrap tightly and chill, or freeze up to 2 weeks. If frozen, thaw in fridge before reheating. Reheatone at a time in crepe pan or skillet over medium until warmed through.

BUCKWHEAT CREPES

Steps:

• Melt 5 tablespoons butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet. Combine the melted butter, both flours, the milk, eggs and salt in a blender and process until smooth (set the skillet aside). Let the batter rest at room temperature at least 1 hour or overnight. Stir in the parsley, if desired.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Heat the skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles in it. Lightly butter the skillet, then add a scant 1/3 cup batter and quickly swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until the crepe sets and browns around the edges, about 2 minutes. Carefully lift with a rubber spatula, flip over and cook about 30 more seconds. Transfer to a plate.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed and stacking the finished crepes. Wrap the crepes in a damp dish towel and place in the oven to reheat, about 10 minutes.
• Serve with assorted fillings.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 sliced onions and 2 thyme sprigs. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the onions are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 ounces spinach and cook until just wilted, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound chopped wild mushrooms and 2 thyme sprigs; saute until the mushrooms are golden, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add 2/3 cup heavy cream; toss to warm through. Remove from the heat and add a handful of parsley.
• Saute 1 1/4 pounds shrimp (peeled and halved lengthwise) in 2 tablespoons butter with 1 strip lemon zest, 2 tarragon sprigs and salt and pepper until the shrimp turn pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and 1/2 cup white wine and simmer 1 minute. Remove from the heat; add 4 tablespoons chopped cold butter and some parsley.

BUCKWHEAT CREPES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Pour in milk and whisk to combine. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups plus 2 1/2 tablespoons buckwheat flour and whole wheat flour, whisking to combine. Don't be afraid if the mixture looks too watery; it works well. Stir in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
• Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush the bottom with a little oil and pour in 1 ladle of batter in a swirl, so it spreads evenly into a thin layer. Cook until bubbles form and crepe is browned on the bottom, 1 to 3 minutes, then flip and repeat on the other side. Remove to a plate and repeat to cook remaining crepes, adding more oil as needed.

Steps:

• Place the milk, water, eggs and salt in a blender. Cover the blender, and turn on at low speed. Add the flours, then the canola oil, and increase the speed to high. Blend for one minute. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for one to two hours.
• Place a seasoned 7- or 8-inch crêpe pan over medium heat. Brush with butter or oil, and when the pan is hot, remove from the heat and ladle in about 3 tablespoons batter. Tilt or swirl the pan to distribute the batter evenly, and return to the heat. Cook for about one minute, until you can easily loosen the edges with a spatula. Turn and cook on the other side for 30 seconds. Turn onto a plate. Continue until all of the batter is used.
• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil, and add the spinach. Blanch for 20 seconds, and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain and squeeze dry. Chop and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the crêpes in a dry skillet over medium heat (or use the skillet you used to fry your eggs). Top with a spoonful of spinach, and top the spinach with the egg, setting the egg to one side so you can fold the crêpe over. Sprinkle the cheese over the top, fold the crêpe over, and transfer to a plate with a spatula. Serve hot.

SOURDOUGH BUCKWHEAT CREPES

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients in a bowl and mix throroughly. Depending on the flour in your sourdough starter, your batter may need more or less milk. See this video for an ideal batter consistency.
• If you want more complex flavors, at this point, you can cover the batter and let it ferment for a few hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. You can also use it immediately.
• Heat up a fry pan (non-stick is easiest) with a small amount of butter or oil. A medium burner setting usually works. When the butter is melted but not yet browned, ladle in about 1/2-1/3 cup of batter. Immediately tilt the pan around to spread the batter in a larger circle.
• Once the the crepe has bubbles popping through, flip it and cook the second side. Total cooking time is usually just a couple of minutes.
• Serve with whatever filling or topping you want: whipped cream, fruit, dulce de leche, nutella, lemon juice and sugar, jam or even savory fillings like spinach and cheese.
• You can make these ahead and freeze them (well wrapped) or refrigerate for 1-2 days. To retain moisture and pliability when reheating, place a crepe on a covered plate and microwave for 20-30 seconds. A bowl or a second plate works well as a cover.
