I was first introduced to sourdough pancakes by my mother-in-law Shirley. Sourdough pancakes are super easy to make. They’re light, tangy in flavor and best served with melted butter and maple syrup for an incredible breakfast.

You will need a sourdough starter and I have just the one. My homemade sourdough starter. Now you could purchase a sourdough starter online that comes in a packet and you feed the starter. Mine is homemade, from scratch as as long as you keep feeding it, it will keep indefinitely.

As a rule of thumb when using a starter you always need to feed and replenish it. It’s not difficult. Think of it this way, what ever you take out, needs to be replaced with equal weights of flour and water. So for 1 cup of starter you need to feed back 1 cup flour and 3/4 cup water. Why 3/4 cup water? Because you need to feed it approximately equal weights of flour and water, not amounts.

So if you’re making these pancakes you’re going to need 1/2 cup sourdough starter. That means after you take that out of your starter container, you’ll be mixing back in a 1/2 cup of the new mixture the next morning to keep it fed and alive. Stir to mix in thoroughly and refrigerate for another sourdough recipe.

So make sourdough pancakes often and keep your starter alive!
