Soured-Milk Crêpes

Soft, thin crêpes — delicious with tea or coffee! Crêpes made from milk that's gone sour are a real lifesaver. There's no need to pour out sour milk; it makes a great batter, especially for crêpes. Soured milk has a tangy but not bitter taste. The batter is mixed with eggs, sugar, and flour, and the finished crêpes come out very tender. You can wrap any filling in them, and serve them with raspberry jam, condensed milk, sour cream, or just a sprinkle of sugar.

  • Soured milk is perfect for crêpes. There's no need to add baking soda or baking powder to the batter. If you like, you can add more eggs. Put less sugar in the batter and you can wrap a savory meat filling in them; for sweet crêpes, wrap up sweetened farmer cheese, pastry cream, chocolate cream, or buttercream.
  • Be prepared to need more or less flour than the recipe calls for. Go by the consistency of the batter rather than the exact amount. To avoid mistakes, read up on flour and its properties!
  • It's important to sift the flour to aerate it — then the batter comes out light and rises nicely as it cooks.
