- 2 cups fed / active sourdough starter
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 tbs raw honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- additional coconut oil for frying
Preheat a cast iron or nonstick skillet to medium / medium-low heat. I have found that on my electric stove heating the cast iron between a 4-5 (just under medium) is perfect.
Combine all ingredients in a large glass bowl. The baking soda makes the batter foam up and get nice and fluffy, which is what we want!
Once the cast iron is nice and toasty, melt a little bit of coconut oil in the hot pan.
Add sourdough pancake batter to the seasoned pan. You can make your pancakes as big or small as you want, but make sure to spread the batter around so it is thin. It should start to bubble as the pancakes cook.
Once there are plenty of bubbles, flip the pancake(s) carefully, and cook on the second side for about 30 seconds to a minute. The pancakes should be golden brown.
Repeat until you have used all of the batter!
Serve hot with butter and maple syrup, fresh berries, or any of your other favorite toppings.
Recipe Tips:
- My favorite pan for sourdough pancakes is a cast iron skillet, because it really helps to accomplish the crispy exterior. Make sure the pan is really hot before adding coconut oil and batter.
- You don't need much batter for each pancake. Spread it out nice and thin for a crispy pancake!
