Ingredients
- 120 g Sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 120 ml Low-fat milk
- 2 Egg whites (from large eggs)
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 2 tsp Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, and low-fat milk. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy. Add them to the batter along with the baking powder, baking soda, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt.
Step 3
Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes dense.
Step 4
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while preheating a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 5
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly, if needed.
Step 6
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles start to form and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the skillet with nonstick cooking spray as needed between batches.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite low-fat toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
