Pancakes: Sourdough Recipe

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup of sourdough starter
2. 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
3. 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
4. 1/2 teaspoon of salt
5. 2 tablespoons of sugar
6. 1 egg
7. 1 cup of milk
8. 2 tablespoons of melted butter

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the sourdough starter and all-purpose flour.
2. Add in the baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix everything until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk and melted butter. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, spoon about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until the edges start to dry out and the surface has bubbles. Flip and cook until lightly browned on both sides.
5. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, berries, or whipped cream.

Verdict:

If you’re looking for a fluffy and tangy pancake, this sourdough recipe is for you. The sourdough starter adds a nice depth of flavor to the pancakes, while the addition of baking soda helps them rise and become light and airy. This is a great recipe to use up some of your sourdough discard or to make ahead and store in the freezer for busy mornings.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these sourdough pancakes with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. You can also try adding chocolate chips, nuts, or spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg to the pancake batter for some extra oomph. Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for the perfect breakfast or brunch.
