Sourdough And Banana Pancakes Recipes

SOURDOUGH AND BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
• Mash banana in another bowl. Stir in sourdough starter, sour cream, egg, 2 tablespoons butter, and vanilla extract. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Mix in milk gradually until batter is pourable but some lumps remain.
• Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Grease lightly with melted butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake, keeping them 2 inches apart. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.

SOURDOUGH BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk the milk, eggs, sourdough starter, melted butter, and mashed banana together.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients.
• Whisk until the mixture is smooth and combined.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray it with cooking spray or melt a dab of butter in the skillet.
• Ladle some batter in the hot skillet.
• Cook for about 2-4 minutes, until golden. When the top of the pancakes is bubbling, it's time to flip. Cook for another 2-4 minutes on the other side.
• Remove the pancake to a plate and proceed with the remaining batter.
• Keep your eye on the heat so it's not too high and burning the outsides of the pancakes while leaving the inside undercooked.
• Serving options: maple syrup, berries, melted chocolate, Nutella, caramelized bananas, nut butter, honey.

BANANA SOURDOUGH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Starting the night before, make the sponge.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients.
• Cover with plastic wrap and leave a small vent to allow any accumulated gas to escape. Set it on the counter and wait.
• In a bowl, whisk together the remaining pancake ingredients, eggs, mashed banana, butter, vanilla, almond, salt and baking soda.
• Pour the pancake sponge into the bowl, and whisk together to create the final batter.
• Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees.
• Lightly spray with non-stick spray and pour 1/4 cup portions of the pancakes on top.
• Cook until the tops are bubbly and begin to look dry, and then flip, about 3-4 minutes.
• Continue cooking until the other side is golden brown. Remove from griddle and serve.

EASY 15 MINUTE SOURDOUGH BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Beat the eggs with a fork and add mashed bananas. You don't have to use ripe bananas for this recipe, but it is easier to mash ripe bananas. Add sourdough discard and mix.
• Add butter to a preheated pan. I use cast iron pan as it gets really hot and provides evenly cooked through pancakes. Scoop the batter onto the pan and fry the pancakes on one side for 2-3 minutes. Flip and fry on the other side for another 2 minutes.
• Serve the pancakes with sour cream, jam, honey, maple syrup, or fresh fruit. Enjoy!

SOURDOUGH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Make the Primary Batter: Warm a very large bowl by filling it with hot water. Empty it out (a cold bowl can retard the leavening).
• Remove the sourdough starter crock from the refrigerator and stir it well. Measure out 2 1/2 cups. Return the remaining starter to the refrigerator.
• Combine the warm water and starter in the warm bowl and stir until well mixed. Using a whisk or a mixer set at medium-low speed, add the flour slowly, beating continually for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in a warm, draft-free area for proofing.
• Proof the batter for 8 or up to 12 hours (see below). During the proofing period, a crust or a liquid may form on the top of the batter. If this happens, just stir it back down into the batter. At the end of the proofing period, stir the batter thoroughly. Take out 2 1/2 cups and return it to the starter container (this feeds your starter). Stir the starter in the container thoroughly and refrigerate it.
• Make the pancakes: Place the 3 3/4 cups of Primary Batter into a large warm bowl. Stir in the sour cream. Using a whisk or a mixer set on medium speed, beat in 1 1/4 cups of the flour.
• Using a whisk or a mixer set on medium speed, beat the eggs in a separate bowl for 2 minutes, or until frothy.
• Stir the eggs into the batter. Stir in the sugar, butter, and salt; then stir in the remaining 1 1/4 cups flour. Don't worry if the batter looks a little lumpy. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside for 30 minutes.
• Preheat a stove-top griddle or skillet on medium heat, or an electric griddle to 400°F, testing to make sure it's hot enough for a drop of water to bounce on it.
• Lightly butter the griddle. Using a ladle, form pancakes on the griddle using about 1/3 cup batter for each pancake. Cook the pancakes for 3 minutes, or until the edges begin to look set and the top has a few bubbles. The bottom should be golden brown.
• Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side. Brush the finished pancakes with a little melted butter before serving.
• The proofing period will be for 8 to 12 hours, depending on how active your starter is when taken from the refrigerator. The Primary Batter is ready when it is foamy and full of large bubbles. You can use it immediately or within the next 8 to 12 hours. If your batter has many tiny bubbles in it, it has reached the proper state. If few or no bubbles are present during the 8 to 12 hours after proofing, your starter is not acting properly and you should determine the reason for this before continuing with the recipe. The most likely reason your starter is not working is because it is dead. You will need to get new starter. To keep your starter alive (it is a living organism), you need to feed it once a week. By removing a little starter and adding back an equal amount of flour and water, your starter will thrive for a long, long time.
