- 1 1/2 cup sourdough starter
- 1/2 cup plain whole milk yogurt
- 2 1/4 oz whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 tbsp whole cane or brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- fine sea salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp safflower or sunflower oil
- 1 tsp unsalted butter
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat a cast-iron griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Preheat your oven to the lowest setting (about 200°F) to keep pancakes warm later.
-
Step 2.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups sourdough starter, ½ cup plain whole milk yogurt, 2.25 ounces (about ½ cup) whole wheat pastry flour, 2 tablespoons whole cane or brown sugar, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of fine sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
-
Step 3.
In another medium bowl, separate the egg: let the white slide into the bowl and drop the yolk into the first bowl with the starter mixture. Stir the yolk into the sourdough batter until incorporated.
-
Step 4.
Using a whisk or an electric hand mixer, beat the egg white until thick and foamy, close to stiff peaks (about 2–3 minutes with a mixer).
-
Step 5.
Gently fold the whipped egg white into the sourdough batter until just combined, being careful not to deflate the air. The batter will look bubbly.
-
Step 6.
Coat the hot griddle with 1 teaspoon of safflower or sunflower oil. Use a ¼-cup measure to scoop batter and pour it into disks on the griddle, leaving space between each. You should hear a soft hiss. Cook as many pancakes as the griddle can hold without crowding.
-
Step 7.
Watch the surface of the pancakes: when the edges tighten and bubbles form and pop on the surface (about 2–3 minutes), slide a spatula under and flip each pancake. Cook for another minute on the second side, until golden brown.
-
Step 8.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in the preheated oven. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the griddle as needed between batches.
-
Step 9.
Stack the pancakes on a serving plate, dotting butter between each cake if desired. Serve with fruit topping or maple syrup.
