Sourdough Pancakes
These pancakes are soft, golden, and full of homemade charm. With simple ingredients and an easy process, they’re the perfect way to use your sourdough starter and make breakfast feel special.
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Active sourdough starter | 2 cups |
| Eggs | 2 |
| Coconut oil, melted | 1/4 cup |
| Honey | 2 tablespoons |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Baking soda | 1 teaspoon |
| Coconut oil | For frying |
How To Make Sourdough Pancakes:
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
Step 2: Add Baking Soda
Sprinkle in the baking soda and gently stir. You’ll notice the batter start to foam—this is what gives your pancakes that light, fluffy texture.
Step 3: Preheat the Pan
Add a bit of coconut oil to a cast iron skillet or any heavy pan, and heat it over medium. You’ll want the oil hot enough to sizzle when the batter hits it.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Quickly lower the heat to medium-low so they cook evenly without burning. Let them cook for about 2–3 minutes, until the top is bubbly and the edges begin to look set.
Step 5: Flip and Finish
Flip each pancake carefully and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it’s golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 6: Serve Warm
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve them warm with your favorite toppings—like butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream—for a breakfast that feels comforting and indulgent.
These Sourdough Pancakes are the perfect mix of tangy and sweet, fluffy and soft. Once you taste them, you’ll never look at boxed pancake mix the same way again.
