Wake up to the rustic charm of Yukon Sourdough Flapjacks Pancakes, a recipe that combines the tangy depth of sourdough starter with the light, fluffy texture of classic pancakes. These golden flapjacks are infused with a hint of sweetness and require minimal prep, with an optional overnight fermentation for an extra punch of sourdough flavor. Perfectly crisped on the outside and tender on the inside, each pancake is cooked to perfection on a greased skillet and pairs beautifully with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of butter. Whether you're serving breakfast for the family or indulging in weekend brunch, these sourdough pancakes deliver a hearty, flavorful bite that's equal parts nostalgic and unique.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, and milk. Stir until smooth, then cover the bowl loosely and let it sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for a more pronounced sourdough flavor).
Once the mixture is ready, beat the egg in a small bowl and add it to the batter along with the melted butter, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix gently until fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil or melted butter.
For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Spread the batter slightly with the back of the measuring cup, if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges appear set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding additional oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the flapjacks warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a pat of butter.
