Sourdough Pancakes

Ingredients

2 large eggs
245g (1 cup) whole milk
61g (1/4 cup) Greek yogurt (optional)
250g (1 ½ cups, stirred down) sourdough starter
4g (1 teaspoon) vanilla (optional)
180g (1 ½ cups) all purpose flour, or a mix of all purpose and whole wheat flour
6g (1 teaspoon) baking soda
4g (1 teaspoon) baking powder
50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
63g ¼ cup or ½ stick) melted butter

Method

Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Acid milk, optional yogurt, sourdough starter and optional vanilla.  Stir to incorporate.

Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add dry mix to the egg mixture, mixing well. Stir in melted butter. Wait about 30 minutes to let your sourdough starter get going just a bit.

Lightly grease a hot pan. Drop the batter onto the griddle and cook until light brown and bubbles start to appear on top, then flip to cook the other side. Refrain from flipping multiple times.

You might need to adjust the amount of milk depending on the stiffness of your sourdough starter and your preferred batter consistency. The above Ingredients work well for ray liquid starter, if yoU’re using a stiff starter you .night want to add around 1/2 cup more milk.

Overnight fermentation option:

Another option for these pancakes is to let the batter ferment overnight in the same way the waffles are done, above. Combine the milk, sugar, and flour with the sourdough starter the night before. In the morning add the baking soda, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Then separate the egg yolks from the whites, whisk the whites to stiff peaks and slightly scramble the yolks in another bowl. Fold both in right before making the pancakes.
