If you have been hanging around the old farmhouse a while, you know how I loooove my sourdough starter. I have been nurturing it for over six years now.
I use it to make English muffins, pizza crusts, sourdough skillets (recipe coming soon), even doughnuts! But, you know what I make with it more than anything else? Pancakes. Deliciously fermented, fluffy, crisp around the edges, sourdough pancakes.
“If that’s so, why pray tell has it taken you so dang long to post the recipe??”, you might ask.
I must admit, I have no excuse. I just never got around to it. Several people on Youtube and Instagram stories asked me about my pancake recipe. Your promptings finally kicked me into gear.
So, here it finally is my friends. Our sourdough pancake recipe. The one I have made every Saturday morning for probably like six years now.
Now, if you have been making recipes with sourdough starter, you may know that usually there is a waiting time to allow for fermentation, like in my sourdough English muffin recipe.
But, the wonderful thing about this recipe is there is no wait. You just need to have two cups of fed starter on hand. It doesn’t even have to be room temperature. You can pull your glass bowl of starter out of the fridge, and as long as there is at least two cups of starter, you are good to go!
Now, this is of course assuming that you fed your starter and allowed it to ferment a little before you put it away last time. If you just stirred the flour and water in, and popped it into the fridge straightaway, it will need a little fermenting time.
And if this is all a bunch of jibberish, make sure to visit my post on all the benefits, how to, and why do (just made that up) of sourdough, in this post.
Our Sourdough Pancake Recipe Ingredients
2 cups fed Sourdough Starter
2 eggs
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Coconut oil for frying
Our Sourdough Pancake Recipe the Process
Although it certainly isn’t a requirement for sourdough pancake makin’, I prefer using cast iron. If you are brand new to cast iron cooking visit this post all about it.
To ensure the cakes don’t stick, you will need to follow two rules.
Preheat the skillet before letting the batter hit it.
Only flip the pancake one time.
Mix the starter, eggs, coconut oil, honey and salt in a glass bowl. Add the baking soda last, and watch the starter foam up. That’s my favorite part. 🙂
I like my sourdough pancakes to have that crispy fried edge. To do this, I start by preheating a tablespoon of coconut oil in my skillet.
After it is hot enough o produce a sizzle, I pour a ladle full of batter right onto the hot oil. At this point, I turn the stove down a bit so that the pancake has a chance to cook through without the bottom burning. Remember that “flip only one time” rule.
After the top is nice and bubbly, give it a little flip.
Allow it to cook another 30 seconds on the other side.
Repeat. Repeat.
If we plan to add blueberries and chocolate chips, we like to put them on the uncooked side while the cakes are cooking. I find that if the chocolate actually makes contact with the skillet, they tend to stick. This is why I don’t stir them into the batter. Same goes for blueberries.
This little barefoot girl is my official kitchen helper. When I am through most of the batter, she likes to use the rest to make little pancakes for her dolls.

Hey, everyone. It’s Lisa from the blog FarmhouseOnBoone.com and my little helper, Johannah. She loves to help me cook most of the time. And today we’re gonna show you how to make sourdough pancakes. In a recent video I told you all about sourdough and the uses for it. I even
Shared a recipe for sourdough English muffins. And I had a lot of requests for my pancake recipe. It’s time to get the cast iron skillets pre-heating. I’m getting these all going on medium because we want it to be nice and hot before the pancake batter
Goes in. So I’m gonna get a little bit of coconut oil going in all of these because I really like when pancakes have that fried flavor. So if you put them on whenever there’s some hot oil it kind of almost tastes like a doughnut. First we’re gonna start by putting 2 cups
Of sourdough starter into our bowl. For the sourdough starter, you’re gonna want it to be fed starter. So don’t take it out of the refrigerator, feed it with a couple cups of flour and water and then immediately make the pancakes. You’re gonna wanna wait about 8 hours. Now if you
Put it away last time, fed, you can also pull it out of the refrigerator and use directly like that just as long as you didn’t just put the flour and water in it and it hasn’t had time to ferment. That’s not what you want. But as long
As it’s fed, should be good to go. Next add 2 eggs, a half a teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of honey, 4 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and then a whole teaspoon of baking soda. Now you gotta be careful to kind of spread it out slowly because if there’s any little clumps then
You’ll get a clump of baking soda and it doesn’t taste so great. That would taste horrible. Ooo it’s foaming! If the sourdough starter felt thick before, at this point it actually feels like, more like a traditional pancake batter. And the foaminess kind of makes it really lightweight and that’s gonna be
A really good pancake. Now if you make batter ahead of time, I would recommend not putting in the baking soda until the last minute. Mom can I flip them? Okay I’m gonna drop this on and we want that sizzle. Sizzle! That’s good. Really good! Now the goal of course is to only flip
One time. So we’re gonna let it cook for a while before we flip. Alright, so I’m going to test to see if this one’s ready. That is good. Now I’m gonna try on my big skillet. We got a few plain ones done, now we’re gonna show you some of our favorite
Variations and that is blueberry and chocolate chip. Can I make mini pancakes? Alright, so we’re gonna smother these with some grass-fed butter and some raw honey. Head to my blog FarmhouseOnBoone.com, I will link below this exact post where I share this recipe. You can print it off, keep it up

How can you make these pancakes if you don't have sourdough starter? Can you simply put flour and water in a bowl along with the other ingredients?
Hello young lady I so enjoy your videos. Been watching them for weeks over and over lol and last night I got the courage to at least begin my starter…. I woke up this morning excited thinking there was gonna be some kind of rising or bubbling or anything….. And nothing absolutely nothing😫 Please tell me what I did wrong😭 I started with a 1/2 a cup of rye flour and Half a cup of all purpose flour and one purified water…. Next well market market covered it overnight and nothing😫 Help tell me what to do or what I did wrong.
Your daughter’s apron is beautiful!! Did you make it yourself or purchase it somewhere?
Wow. I totally enjoyed these pancakes. I love the crispness of the edges. Yummy.
Wow just wow! So light it's melt in a mouth! Thank you so much for the recipe!
I made started for sour dough by your recipe, so proud it came out beautifully 😍
would this work with sourdough discard instead of fed starter?
I am new to this whole process. I feed my starter once a week and keep it in the fridge. I have some discard I want to use for this recipe but I am confused so I feed it like I feed my starter and bring the discard out of fridge 8 hours before I use it? Help….I’m craving pancakes and these look so good!
I found this recipe earlier this year and made this recipe. Never going back. Thank you.
Mine came out burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. Any tips?
Thank you for sharing this recipe ❤! I made these pancakes with grated apple and they are so delicious!
Holy Smokes! I went looking for a sourdough pancake recipe, this was at the top of the feed, and I had a moment of confusion about Johanna being so little!! I looked at the date on this video and saw it was five years old! I’ve been following you for a LONG time, Lisa! You just had Victor in real time. Love ya, olde friend! 😂🩷
Recently found out my husband can’t tolerate gluten anymore. Thanks to your channel I have been able to keep him fed with some of his favorite foods with a long fermented sourdough component. Thank your for all your great info.
It's so funny theres a baby attached to you while you film the video lol hahah cute

I'm substituting melted butter for coconut oil …..it's gonna be delicious.
I know that coconut oil is YUM but I gotta ease my family into this slowly. 😅
I made these pancakes this morning and they were awesome!! Thank you
Would this work with an einkorn discard? Thanks
I know this is an old video but I have a question. Would i use starter that was fed the night before?
