Sister Sourdough pancakes
Want the perfect recipe to use that sourdough starter discard that's also 10/10? This it it! Once you try these pancakes you'll want them every week!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups plain flour
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp bicarb soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter discard
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 30g melted butter + extra for frying
- oil for fry pan
- To serve - Maple syrup, berries, sliced banana and crispy bacon
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside
- Mix wet ingredients together in a small bowl
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients
- The most important part is that you don't over mix the batter, mix until just incorporated and then stop! It's okay if it has a few small lumps, if you over mix the pancakes they won't be as fluffy
- Heat up a fry pan on low to medium heat and add 10g butter and some oil. Using 1/4 cup measure, place 1 small round of batter into pan (about 8cm wide) to test out the heat first. Place a lid if you can over pan as helps pancakes fluff up. Cook until few bubbles form and then flip to cook other side
- Once you have pan heat to your liking place about 3 pancakes in pan at a time
- Once cooked, place in Thermoserver lined with baking paper or under a tea towel to keep warm while you repeat with remaining batter
- Best served with lashings of butter, maple syrup, fresh berries and bacon on the side
- Refrigerate leftover pancakes and reheat before eating
Notes
I like to use a 1/4 measuring cup to dispense batter so pancakes are similar size and cook evenly
Placing a lid over pan will help pancakes become fluffier (you can use a baking tray if you don't have a lid big enough but be careful as will get hot)
