How to Make Sourdough Peanut Butter Crepes
What You’ll Need
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula
- Cast iron skillet
- Whisk or electric mixer
Ingredients
- 1 cup of fed sourdough starter
- 7 eggs
- 3/4 tsp. of vanilla
- 2 TBS of honey
- 1/4 cup. of peanut butter (creamy)
- Toppings: cream cheese, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, maple syrup, chocolate chips, etc.
Step-By-Step Instructions
- Preheat a cast iron skillet on medium heat.
- Use the whisk attachment or an regular whisk to blend the eggs together.
- Mix in the honey, vanilla, and peanut butter. If your honey is in a solid state you’ll need to warm it on the stovetop.
- Melt a little butter on the cast iron skillet.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter onto the middle of the skillet. Swirl the batter in the pan to coat it evenly.
- Look for small bubbles to appear on the surface of the crepe. This is when it’s time to flip.
- Use a large spatula to flip the crepe.
- Allow to cook on that side for a few minutes until lightly browned.
- Add your preferred toppings while the crepe is still warm and roll it up. Serve warm.
Keep in Mind:
- They will stick to the cast iron skillet if it is cold, so warming it up before hand is important!
- For best results, only pour a thin amount of batter on the skillet and spread it evenly with a spatula. This will also help prevent the crepe from sticking.

Crepe Filling Ideas
Banana Split: This is my favorite way to fill a crepe. Just add chocolate chips, bananas, and strawberries. Delicious!
Fruits: blueberries, bananas, strawberries, apples, pineapple, etc.
Savory: hash browns, onion, cheese, and bacon.
Sweet: Chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, caramel, Nutella.
Whipped cream.
French. A few squeezes of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of sugar.
How Do I Keep Them Warm While I’m Cooking The Others?
Heat the oven to 200 degrees, place a baking dish inside, add cooked crepes to the dish, and cover with a lid each time. This will keep them all warm until you’re ready to serve them!
My Crepes Keep Breaking!
Allow the crepe to cook fully before flipping it. I’ve found that under-cooked crepes almost always break when I attempt to flip them, but cooked ones do not.
Thin crepes do not break as easily either, so avoid adding too much batter to your skillet.
