why make this recipe
Sourdough pancakes are a delightful twist on traditional pancakes. They are fluffy, tangy, and a great way to use sourdough starter or discard. Not only do they taste amazing, but they also pack a nutritional punch. The fermentation process helps break down gluten, making them easier to digest. Plus, you can customize them with your favorite toppings!
