The Best Sourdough Pancakes

9 min

The best sourdough pancakes are fluffy on the outsides with irresistable crispy edges. It is super simple to whip up with just a six basic ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups active sourdough starter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • coconut oil for frying

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix the starter, eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the baking soda last, and watch the starter foam up.Preheat a tablespoon of coconut oil in my cast iron skillet on medium heat.

  3. 3

    After it is hot enough to produce a sizzle, pour 1/2 cup batter right onto the hot oil. At this point, I turn the stove down to medium-low heat so that the pancake has a chance to cook through without the bottom burning. Remember that "flip only one time" rule.

  4. 4

    After the top is nice and bubbly, and no more bubbles are being produced, give the pancake a flip. About 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cook the second side for another 30 seconds to a minute on the other side, or until cooked through and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Set aside as you continue to cook

  7. 7

    Serve with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, homemade whipped cream, or even savory toppings.
