Buttery pancakes with syrup and a fork.

Sourdough Pancakes


Cowboys love a pancake, and Shan and I have flipped many of these on top of Bertha, our wood stove.

This recipe requires very few ingredients and the pairing of the sweetness of sugar and maple syrup along with the tartness of the sourdough makes this a new twist on the traditional buttermilk pancake.

Be sure to check out our sourdough starter below. It is ready to go in 24 hours. No need to feed it either, unless you remove enough that you need more for a recipe later.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sourdough starter

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ o ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • Butter and maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the starter, egg, oil sugar, baking soda and salt. Let sit for 1 minute.
  2. Whisk in the vanilla. Slowly begin stirring in the flour until it reaches a pancake-batter consistency.
  3. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is warm, coat it with butte or cooking spray.
  4. Pour the batter onto the skillet in batches, making about 4-inch pancakes, or use a ¼ cup dry measuring cup. Cook until bubbles begin to form and the undersides are golden brown. Flip and cook the opposite sides to golden brown. Serve warm with butter and syrup.
