In a large mixing bowl, combine the paleo sourdough starter, almond flour, and tapioca starch. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth batter base.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, eggs, honey (if using), and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the sourdough batter and mix until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable. Add a splash of water or more coconut milk if it's too thick.
Sprinkle the baking soda and sea salt evenly over the batter and gently fold in until incorporated. Do not overmix, as you want the baking soda to retain its leavening power.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1/2 tbsp of coconut oil or ghee. Allow it to melt and coat the surface.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Spread slightly with the back of the ladle to form a circle.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil or ghee to the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm and enjoy as is, or top with fresh fruit, almond butter, or a light drizzle of maple syrup for a paleo-friendly treat.
