Blueberry Sourdough Pancakes Recipe

Blueberry Sourdough Pancakes

Serves 4

These fluffy pancakes have a subtle sourdough tang. Don’t worry about letting the milk sit out all night in the batter; consider it another type of flavor-building fermentation. If your berries are tart, add 1 Tbs. sugar to the batter. Serve the pancakes with maple syrup.

1 ¼ cups Shortcut Sourdough Starter
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, divided
¾ cup warm milk
2 Tbs. sugar or honey
3 Tbs. butter or nonhydrogenated margarine, melted
1 large egg
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
1 ¼ cups fresh blueberries

1. Stir together starter, 3/4 cup flour, milk, and sugar in medium bowl. Cover loosely, and let sit overnight.

2. Whisk in butter and egg the following morning. Combine remaining 1/2 cup flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt in separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into batter, adding 1/4 cup more flour if needed. Stir in blueberries. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes.

3. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and coat with cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake into skillet. Cook 1 to 11/2 minutes on each side, or until golden.
