You probably have memories of waking up on the weekends and having a warm pancake breakfast with your family. Homemade pancakes drizzled in real maple syrup and topped with butter. I do too. My grandmother taught me how to make them using white flour and a few simple ingredients. However, when I started making sourdough, I wondered if there was a way to make sourdough pancakes since we were trying to avoid white flour and grains that weren't sprouted, soured, or fermented. At first, I know this sounds funny, I tried just pouring my einkorn sourdough discard right into the pan. This actually does work if you want something really easy and simple, but it is extra sour and not quite the fluffy pancakes I was expecting. So I experimented a little bit and came up with this recipe for you guys. I hope you enjoy it!
📖 Recipe
Sourdough Pancakes
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl and spoon OR stand mixer
Ingredients
- 4 cups sourdough starter (I use an einkorn starter)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Add-ins of choice (ex. blueberries, banana slices, chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Warm up your skillet on the stove at medium heat.
- Meanwhile, mix together all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer.
- Using a few tablespoons at a time, pour the batter onto the skillet and let it cook for a few minutes on each side. You will know its ready to flip when the edges start to cook.
- On the second side (the uncooked side), you can add any add ins. If using chocolate chips, do not cook on the second side for too long or your pan will become a sticky mess!
- Repeat the previous step until you have used all the batter.
- Top your pancakes with real maple syrup and butter.
