Every Saturday night, I get my sourdough starter out of the fridge, feed it, and leave it to grow overnight. Once I wake up, I take the amount I need for both my breads for the week and I'm still left with plenty. After a few weeks of doing this, I realized I was starting to have way too much starter for the amount I used regularly, and my freezer was getting too full of discard so, the quest for recipes to use it up began. I tried a few muffin recipes but they fell short, I made some pizza dough but, as much as I'd want to, I can't really have pizza every week (no matter how healthy I can make it), and so, I finally decided to give sourdough pancakes a try. Pancakes have always been my breakfast of choice, and once I found myself living alone, my Saturday mornings were filled with sky-high stacks of pancakes and I ate nothing more for the rest of the day, those were the days. After moving back in with my mum, that tradition kinda died down but alas, my sourdough has saved me and now, Sundays are officially pancake day at our place. 

For this recipe you'll obviously need your own starter, if you still don't have one here's the link to the video where I learnt how to make my own. Now that that's off the way, here's what you'll need:

Simply mix all your ingredients, making sure to take care of any lumps with a whisk, and make your pancakes as normal. I find they don't really stick on any of my pans, but maybe test a small one to make sure if you need to oil your pan or not. Depending on the size of your pan and on how thick you like your pancakes, this should make around 12 pancakes, and I like to serve mine with a sprinkle of sugar and lemon juice, while my mum loves hers with sugar and cinnamon, a family favourite. But, now that the weather is starting to get warmer, I love filling my pancakes with a few strawberries, the choice is yours!

*depending on how old your starter is, your pancakes may taste different, if you've had your starter for only a few weeks, the taste shouldn't be strong, but if you've had your little dough pet for a few years, you'll definitely feel a kick, it's all part of the beauty of sourdough*
