Just when I thought I found the only pancake recipe I’d ever need, I start messing around with sourdough. And my pancake world was rocked.
Remember that sourdough starter I shared with you a few weeks ago? This is the first recipe we’re sharing using that delicious starter. Don’t worry, there are more cakes and artisan breads to come. This is just the beginning. And what a sweet beginning it is.
I tend to be a pancake snob. If I’m going to start the day with a stack of calories, which let’s be real, is not the lowest in calorie breakfast around, I want them to be good. Soft…fluffy…lightly browned…the perfect texture to soak up butter and syrup. And flavor? I want them just barely sweet, because when you’re dousing them in pure maple syrup, there’s no reason to use too much sugar in the pancake batter itself.
And these sourdough pancakes are all of those things above. I knew I liked sourdough bread, but I think so far, sourdough pancakes take the blue ribbon as far as all of the sourdough recipes we’ve tried so far.
And really, what’s not to love? One bowl…no more than 5-10 minutes of prep work (assuming you have that sourdough starter ready) and quick cook time.
These quick sourdough pancakes get eaten faster than we can get them off the griddle.
Why not try a homemade strawberry syrup or raspberry topping to make these an even more decadent morning treat?

Added a pinch of nutmeg and two pinches of cinnamon plus 1 tsp of vanilla….Added pecans for half the batch. Very good!
These are so good! My 7 year old says they’re the best I’ve made and he rates them 10 million stars. Haha
Yum! New to the sourdough world and this is the best thing I’ve made so far. I am also milling wheat berries for my flour, so my learning new things exploded this year!
This recipe is amazing! SO fluffy. Added some vanilla extract because I just love that for pancakes. Saved so I can use this again for our pancake needs.
