Gluten-free sourdough pancakes are a healthy delight. You can use up the discard or prepare starter just for this tasty treat.
With this recipe you will make a batch of fluffy gluten-free sourdough American pancakes. I used active bubbly starter made form gluten-free flour and water kefir. This easy recipe is also great way for using up a sourdough discard from your starter.
Add to Kefirko jar flour and kefir and mix well into a uniform mixture with a wooden spoon, then close with a lid. Leave at room temperature for 2 to 3 days, until starter becomes active and bubbly. This ratio of flour and kefir make approx. 200 g of starter.
Starter fermentation may take a few days, especially if you are making it from scratch.
Ingredients and preparation steps for the pancakes
200 g of active bubbly starter
one egg
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
A teaspoon of cinnamon
A teaspoon of vanilla extract
butter for greasing the pan
Add into bowl all ingredients (except butter) and whisk well just until combined. Rub a small amount of butter directly onto the non-sticking pan before putting it on the heat. Pour the batter with a spoon into the heated pan, making 7- 8 cm pancakes, with plenty of space between them (it’s easier to flip them). Cook until the pancakes start bubbling on top, then flip them. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the pancakes are cooked through. Serve warm with homemade jam.
Chocolate, syrup or homemade jam … everything works with perfect American pancakes.
