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.

- When ready to cook, gently fold the baking soda/water mixture into prepared pancake batter.

These turned out great! I will make them again! ( used my discard starter)
Hello! I will say that this is one of the best pancake recipes using sourdough I’ve ever tried. They turn out great every time! Plus they’re super easy..Thanks for stopping by! Lynn
Thank you so much for this recipe. I recently started my sourdough journey and I’m loving it. Not as difficult as many make it out to be!
I was planning on making bread this weekend, but didn’t have the time. I had fed my starter and thought I would find another way to use it – And YOU popped up in my search.
From Wisconsinite to another – this recipe was absolutely PERFECT! I was a bit confounded when it didn’t call for milk…and then no flour. But they turned out absolutely delicious!
You have just gained a new follower!
Thank you and God bless!
