Recipe: Bakehouse American-style Sourdough Pancakes

Fat, fluffy, American-style sourdough pancakes with a mild yoghurty tang. These take just 10 minutes to make and can be on a plate on your table/lap/sofa/bed by the time you've brewed a cuppa. Sunday brunch: sorted.

Two kilner jars sit side by side on a wooden bench. Both contain sourdough starter. Each jar is marked with an elastic band showing that the sourdough starter has more than doubled in size. It is creamy coloured and bubbly.

Make your own sourdough levain

Naturally leavened (sourdough) bread is made using a levain, also known as a 'starter'. This cosy little microbial ecosystem is made up of wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria, found in the air around us, which colonise a mixture of water and flour to begin a process of fermentation.
