Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 120 grams whole wheat flour
- 180 milliliters milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, whole wheat flour, and milk. Stir until smooth, then let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate the flour.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to the mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or coconut oil.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with fresh fruit, unsweetened yogurt, or your favorite sugar-free toppings.
