This breakfast will be your new family favorite. The gut healthy properties of the sourdough pancakes mixed with the tangy mixture of the buttermilk topped with syrup and fresh fruit are a flavor explosion! Super easy to make with very good end results.

What if I don’t have buttermilk at home?

You can make buttermilk if you have come cream! just simply pour cream into your mixer and whisk until it begins to separate into butter. The leftover milk is the buttermilk! It’s simply delicious to drink on its own as well. You can also substitute for your milk of choice.

Batter to thick or thin?

The consistency of your batter depends on your ratios of dry ingredients and wet ingredients. I prefer my batter to be on the thicker side, so I add less buttermilk, but you can always add more or less depending on your preference. The sourdough starter makes it stay on the thicker side, so take that into account before you go adding too much flour. I would recommend adding more or less liquid.

Active Sourdough or Sourdough Discard

You can use either! Of course if your starter is active then there will be more gut healthy properties as it has fermented longer, but if all you have is discard then use it! The taste for the pancakes might be more “sour” if using discard. It will be delicious regardless of what you choose to make.

What to eat pancakes with?

Syrup is a go to in this household. We also like jams, peanut butter, fruits, and powdered sugar on top. If you’re looking for a lower sugar topping I would recommend a date syrup. It is a nature sweetener and delicious on top.
