🥞 Heavenly Sourdough Pancakes — So Good, They’ll Ruin You for All Other Pancakes!
—
🧾 Introduction & Origin
When people say, “pancakes are just pancakes,” they clearly haven’t tried sourdough pancakes. Light, fluffy, slightly tangy, and golden-crisp at the edges — they deliver flavor and texture that leave regular pancakes in the dust. Once you try these, you might actually say, “Why didn’t I make these sooner?”
Sourdough pancakes originated as a way to use up sourdough discard in traditional baking cultures. From frontier homesteads to modern kitchens, this genius method transformed waste into morning magic — and now, it’s a staple for anyone serious about breakfast.
—
🌍 Cultural Significance
Sourdough has been around for thousands of years, and its revival in home kitchens reflects a growing appreciation for fermented, gut-friendly, slow-made foods. These pancakes bring together that ancient tradition with a modern love for comfort food.
In many cultures, sourdough starter is passed down like a family heirloom. Now it’s being used for more than just bread — and these pancakes are the perfect example of that evolution.

📏 Ingredients & Quantity
Dry Ingredients:
1 cup (200 g) all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons (40 g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients (often added in full recipe):
1 cup sourdough starter (discard or active)
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
—
➕ Optional Additions & Variations
Fold in blueberries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth
Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for tangier flavor
Swap sugar for honey or maple syrup
Make it vegan with plant-based milk, egg replacer, and oil

✅ Tips for Success
Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to hydrate and activate
Don’t overmix — lumps are OK and help keep pancakes tender
Use a medium-low heat and cook slowly for golden perfection
Make sure your baking soda is fresh — it’s key to fluffiness
Grease your pan lightly — too much oil = crispy edges, which some love!

🧑🍳 Instructions (Overview)
1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, combine sourdough starter, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if using). Mix well.
3. Combine Gently:
Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix.
