Sourdough Pancakes

A Week of Sourdough Recipes

 

Good Morning Everyone. Let’s make some sourdough pancakes! This fast and easy recipe for sourdough pancakes is adapted from the cookbook; Simply Sourdough, The Alaskan Way by Kathy Doogan. This super cookbook has given me many delicious sourdough recipes. I’ve tried over half of the 40 recipes featured in the cookbook. Each and every recipe has turned out. All of the recipes that we have shared during our week long series; A Week of Sourdough Recipes, only one recipe ‘Big Batch Sourdough Biscuits’ isn’t from Simply Sourdough.

Sourdough Pancakes

Everyone loves pancakes and pancakes made with sourdough are extra special. Sourdough pancakes can be made with a fed or active starter but can also be made with the discard. Add ins such as fruit  chocolate chips, nuts or any favorite add ins can be added to the batter.

Serve With

Serve these delicious pancakes with what else, maple syrup. Pure, 100% maple syrup. Living here in Wisconsin, I have plenty of access to real maple syrup but if you don’t there are a few things to remember. Keep in mind when buying real maple syrup, the only ingredient listed should be maple syrup. No sugar, corn syrup, brown sugar, molasses or any other ingredients. No, No, Never, Ever! Maple syrup is made from the clear sap of the maple tree. The sap is boiling down, letting the moisture evaporate and reduce down into a thick delicious amber hued syrup.
