Sourdough Blueberry Pancakes

Ingredients:

2 cups of sourdough starter
1 Tbsp. honey
½ tsp. Baking soda
¼ tsp. Salt
1 cup blueberries

Directions:

To make the pancakes, in a bowl, beat the sourdough starter with the honey, then beat in the baking soda and salt. Let the pancake batter sit for a minute or so while the baking soda and starter react. You will notice bubbles forming and the batter will increase slightly.

Melt a little butter in a skillet over medium low heat. Pour ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet and drop a few blueberries onto the pancake. Let the pancake cook until bubbles appear and then flip the pancake to brown the other side. Keep the pancakes warm in a 200-degree oven while you use up the remaining batter.

Serve  the sourdough pancakes warm with maple syrup and additional blueberries. Sourdough blueberry pancakes are a delicious way to start the day.

The next time you are trying to use up your sourdough starter and don’t feel like making bread try making pancakes!
