SOURDOUGH PANCAKES (AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD STARTER)
These are great pancakes made with Amish Friendship Bread Starter. I am always looking for new and creative ways to use my starter!!! These pancakes smell fabulous, and are a bit sweet with yeast flavors. I thought they were great with just butter on top. I sometimes add cinnamon or Apple Pie Spice and sub out apple butter for the oil. . .just an idea!

Amish sourdough pancakes, also known as Amish friendship pancakes or starter pancakes, are a tasty and unique variation of the traditional pancakes. Sourdough pancakes are made from ingredients that are free from preservatives, chemicals or artificial flavors. They are made using a sourdough starter, which is a fermented mixture of flour and water that has natural, wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria. This starter adds a unique tangy flavor to the pancakes, making them more delicious and nutritious.
How to Make Amish Sourdough Pancakes
Making Amish sourdough pancakes might seem difficult but it is actually quite easy. Here are the basic steps involved:
Step 1: Making the Sourdough Starter
The first step to making Amish sourdough pancakes is to make the sourdough starter. To make the starter, you will need to mix equal parts of water and whole-wheat flour in a large glass jar, cover the jar tightly with a lid or cloth and let it sit in a warm place for about 24 hours. After this time, add equal parts of flour and water to the mixture and stir well. Repeat this process for several days until the mixture starts to ferment and you see bubbles forming on the surface. Once the starter is active, you can store it in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
Step 2: Making the Pancake Batter
Once your sourdough starter is ready, you can use it to make the pancake batter. To make the batter, you will need:
- 1 cup of active sourdough starter
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp of sugar
- 1 tsp of baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1 tsp of salt
- 2 tbsp of melted butter or vegetable oil
To make the batter, whisk together the sourdough starter, flour, sugar, baking soda, egg, milk, salt and melted butter or vegetable oil until it forms a smooth and creamy batter. Let the batter sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow it to ferment and become bubbly.
Step 3: Cooking the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium to low heat. Grease it lightly with some butter or vegetable oil. Using a ladle, scoop some batter and pour it onto the skillet. Cook the pancake until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to brown. Flip the pancake over and cook for an additional minute or so, until both sides are golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Benefits of Amish Sourdough Pancakes
There are many benefits of Amish sourdough pancakes. Here are some of them:
- Health benefits – Sourdough pancakes are rich in nutrients, fiber and protein. The fermentation process involved in making the sourdough starter breaks down the gluten and phytic acid, making the pancakes easier to digest and more nutritious.
- Unique flavor – The sourdough starter adds a unique tangy flavor to the pancakes, making them more delicious and appetizing.
- No preservatives – Amish sourdough pancakes are free from preservatives and chemicals, making them a healthier alternative to commercial pancakes.
- Cost-effective – Once you have made the sourdough starter, you can use it to make pancakes for months or even years. This makes the pancakes a cost-effective and sustainable option.
Conclusion
Amish sourdough pancakes are a delicious and nutritious option for breakfast, brunch or a snack. They are easy to make, cost-effective and free from preservatives and chemicals. The sourdough starter adds a unique tangy flavor, making the pancakes more appetizing and flavorful. By making your own sourdough starter and pancake batter, you can enjoy the benefits of homemade and healthy pancakes that are both delicious and nutritious.
