Sourdough Pancakes for Pancake Day
Pancake Day – I bet most people in the UK have the thin ‘crepe’ like pancakes with lemon and sugar. I have never had much luck with these and combined with being American I tend to make the thicker American style pancakes for Pancake Day. (Secret: they are appropriate for any day!)
I decided to spice up my usual pancake batter and add some of the sourdough starter I keep in the fridge and see what happened.
After mixing all my ingredients I added the sourdough starter, mixed well and left to stand 5-10 minutes.
The trick it to let them get loads of bubble on the surface before you flip them over and you only need leave them 30-40 seconds before serving.
Serve with lashings of real maple syrup (mine comes from Vermont, as do I), Moose Maple Butter and a sprinkling of icing sugar and Enjoy
I'm with you on the thick pancakes Heidi. I've never tried them with sourdough though, looks like it worked really well.
The sourdough seemed to make them more sturdy and they kept their form. Very tasty indeed!
Delish! I'm more of a crepe fan if I'm honest, however I really want to try sourdough American style pancakes now!

I am a fan of any type of pancake and I certainly like the sound of these.
