Sourdough Mini Pancakes


This is a great way to use up leftover starter from refreshing your sourdough starter. These are quite sour and have a very chewy texture. I just used what I had lying around to whip up a quick breakfast, which happened to be some extra flour, sugar, baking powder, vinegar, and soy milk. Feel free to experiment with whatever you have in your kitchen. I ate them with a squeeze of lemon and some turbinado sugar sprinkled on top for a nice sour, sweet crunch.

Last Minute Mini Sourdough Pancakes:

1/2 cup prepared sourdough starter
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup all purpose or whole-wheat flour (or really any flour you feel like using)
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup soy milk, more or less depending on desired consistency of the batter

I just mixed everything together loosely, maintaining some lumps in the batter, then heated some oil in a cast-iron skillet. I dropped little spoonfuls of batter in the skillet and fried on both sides until golden brown. They are good with real maple syrup or topped with fresh lemon juice and crunchy raw sugar. I wish I had some plan yogurt and fresh blueberries to top this off.
