INGREDIENTS

2 cups active sourdough starter

2 eggs

¼ cup coconut oil melted

2 tablespoons honey

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

Coconut oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix Base Batter: Mix the active sourdough starter, eggs, melted coconut oil,

honey, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

2. Add Baking Soda: Add the baking soda last, stirring it gently into the wet

mixture, and watch the starter instantly foam up and expand.3. Preheat Skillet: Preheat a tablespoon of coconut oil in a heavy cast iron

skillet on medium heat.

4. Pour & Cook: After the oil is hot enough to produce an immediate sizzle,

pour ½ cup of the foamy batter right onto the hot oil. At this point, turn the

stove down to medium-low heat so that the thick pancake has a chance to

cook all the way through without the bottom burning. Remember the "flip

only one time" rule!

5. Flip: After the top surface is nice and bubbly, and no more bubbles are

actively being produced (about 2-3 minutes), use a wide spatula to give the

pancake a confident flip.

6. Finish Cooking: Cook the second side for another 30 seconds to a minute, or

until it is cooked completely through and deeply golden brown. Set aside on

a warm plate as you continue to cook the rest of the batter.

7. Serve: Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, homemade whipped

cream, or even your favorite savory toppings. Enjoy!

NOTES

Active Starter: Active sourdough starter is a starter that has been fed 4-12

hours before making this recipe.

Adding Mix-ins: If you plan to add blueberries or chocolate chips, place them

directly on the uncooked side of the pancake while it's in the pan. If stirred

into the batter, the chocolate or fruit might make contact with the skillet

and stick.

Crispy Edges: To get the pancakes a little crispy, make sure there is a bit of

hot oil in your pan before pouring the batter.

Make Ahead: You can mix the base batter the night before, but it is

recommended to wait until the next morning to add the baking soda right

before cooking.

When to Flip: You can tell a pancake is ready to flip when all the bubbles

have popped and there are no more bubbles coming up.Did You Make This Recipe?
