Homemade Sourdough Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 cup milk (milk kefir or buttermilk for extra tanginess)
  • Optional: additional butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  • Prepare Sourdough Starter: Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly. If stored in the fridge, take it out and let it come to room temperature.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the melted butter or oil, milk (or buttermilk), and sourdough starter. Mix until well combined.
  • Combine and Rest: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together until just combined. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the sourdough to work its magic.
  • Cook Pancakes: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush with butter or oil if needed. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Stack your sourdough pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favourite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Tips & Serving Suggestions

  • Topping Ideas: Try topping your sourdough pancakes with sliced bananas, toasted nuts, or a dollop of Greek yoghurt for added texture and flavour.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the sourdough batter the night before and let it ferment overnight for even more flavour and digestibility.
  • Freeze Extras: Cooked sourdough pancakes can be frozen in a single layer and then stored in a freezer bag for quick breakfasts on busy mornings.
