Time 33m

Yield 14 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon water
2 cups Sourdough Starter, recipe follows
2 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
2 1/2 cups flour

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs.
  • In a separate bowl, add sugar, salt, baking soda, and water and mix until incorporated. Add to beaten eggs. Add Sourdough Starter to mixture and beat with wooden spoon. Do not beat too long.
  • Spoon on griddle in 1/4 cup amounts. When bubbles appear on top of pancakes, turn over. Cook until golden brown.
  • In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, and honey and mix well. Add the flour and mix until all of flour is incorporated. Cover with a towel or loosely with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place overnight. Refrigerate.
  • When using the starter, remove 2 cups to use for the pancakes. Add 2 cups flour and 2 more cups warm water to the starter. Cover and refrigerate. If you don't use your starter for more than 3 days, it needs to be fed. Remove 1 cup and discard. Add 1 cup flour and 1 cup warm water, cover and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Ensure that your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before beginning the recipe. If it's not, feed it a few times until it is.
  • When mixing the batter, avoid overmixing, as this can result in tough pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the sourdough starter to work its magic and create light and fluffy pancakes.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will brown too quickly and not cook through properly.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These sourdough pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast that is sure to please everyone at the table. With their light and fluffy texture and tangy flavor, they are a perfect way to start your day. Plus, they're a great way to use up any leftover sourdough starter. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast treat, give these sourdough pancakes a try and you won't be disappointed!
