Sourdough Pancakes

These sourdough pancakes use an active starter to produce fluffy, tender pancakes with a subtle tang. A touch of baking soda gives them an extra lift just before cooking.

Instructions:

Step 1: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, and salt. Stir until smooth and evenly blended.

Step 2: Add Baking Soda
Sprinkle the baking soda into the batter and gently fold it in. You should notice the mixture bubbling slightly as the soda reacts with the starter.

Step 3: Heat the Pan
Warm a tablespoon of coconut oil in a cast iron or heavy skillet over medium heat.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Once the oil is shimmering, ladle about 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet. Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low to allow the pancake to cook evenly without burning. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and begin to pop, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 5: Flip and Finish Cooking
Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the other side is golden and the pancake is cooked through.

Step 6: Serve Warm
Transfer the pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
