Fluffy Sourdough Pancakes/Waffles (discard starter)
Chelsea
Delicious and simple to make, fluffy sourdough pancakes and waffles using discard starter.
Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
Total Time 30 minutes mins
- 1.5 cups of organic unbleached flour (I use a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat) Don't use enriched flour!
- 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 pastured eggs
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 1 cup whole milk non-homogenized (or milk substitute)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted grass-fed butter
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
Next, crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and beat lightly.
Add the sourdough starter and mix well.
Next, add the milk.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix, but do NOT over-mix! A few lumps are o.k.
Set the timer for 10 minutes. Melt the butter while you are waiting.
When the timer goes off, add the melted butter.
Waffles: Follow the manufacturers instructions of your waffle maker. For my ceramic waffle maker, I set the timer for 5 minutes and have my waffle iron set to medium. Makes 5.
Pancakes: Put only a small amount of butter in the pan. I use my non-power burner at a 4, but your stove may be different. Makes about 15-20 depending on the size. (We like small pancakes in our house.)
