Fluffy Sourdough Pancakes
Dairy-Free, Nut-Free, Vegetarian
SERVES 4 (12 MEDIUM PANCAKES)
PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES / COOK TIME: 10 MINUTES
Pancakes get a microbiome-benefiting boost when they’re made with sourdough starter. Plus, they’ll have a slightly tangy flavor that adds more complexity to your typical breakfast. Serve these pancakes with fresh or cooked berries or no-sugar-added jam instead of traditional maple syrup for even more disease-fighting benefits.
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cups unsweetened soy milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup Sourdough Starter
Bioactive ingredients: soy milk, sourdough
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy milk, egg, oil, and vanilla.
3. Add the sourdough starter to the small bowl, and stir using a wooden spoon until well combined.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, and stir well.
5. Preheat a pancake griddle or a large skillet, then grease lightly with oil.
6. In ¼-cup portions, pour the batter onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the pancakes are bubbling thoroughly on the top.
