These sourdough pancakes are fluffy and delicious! They have golden buttery edges and a thick fluffy inside. These pancakes have the most tasty unique flavor. This is a great way to use up leftover sourdough discard or sourdough starter!

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 tbsp oil, avocado, vegetable or melted coconut oil
  • 1 cup sourdough discard or starter
  • 2 cups flour, all purpose or gluten free
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar, or coconut sugar
  • pinch sea salt

Instructions 

  • First, add egg, milk and oil to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Then, add in all remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
  • If you have time, allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to develop.
  • After 10 minutes, add butter to a skillet over low medium heat. Allow butter to melt.
  • Pour ¼ cup of batter into the buttered pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Once the pancake has started to bubble, carefully flip.
  • Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side.
  • Carefully remove to a plate. Serve!

Notes

  • Use dairy free milk if needed.
  • I have used this recipe with both sourdough discard and sourdough starter.  They both worked well.
  • Depending on the state of your sourdough, this recipe may need slightly more or less milk.  The thinner the batter, the thinner the pancakes.  Thick batter produces thicker pancakes.
  • Both gluten free flour and all purpose flour work well.
  • Allow the pancake batter to rest for 10 minutes.  This allows the batter to slightly thicken.
  • Use enough butter to prevent sticking.
  • Pancakes are ready to flip when they are bubbling.
  • To keep pancakes warm, feel free to turn your oven on warm mode.  Then keep pancakes in the oven until ready to serve.
  • This recipe makes about ten 3 inch pancakes.
