Overnight Fermented Sourdough Pancakes

These overnight fermented sourdough pancakes are light and fluffy and perfect for the weekend.

Fermented Sourdough Pancakes

These pancakes are fermented for a total of 24 hours which helps reduce the gluten and sugars in the batter making it easier to digest and healthier option.To learn more about the science behind fermenting bread, check out this podcast.

As I’ve mentioned before, a grain-free diet isn’t meant to be lifelong. Once you’ve taken the proper steps to heal, you can often slowly add properly prepared grains back into your diet with the help of your nutritionist or holistic practitioner.

The sourdough pancakes freeze really well so you can serve these on mornings when you don’t have time to cook. The best way to reheat them so they taste like they just came off the griddle is to put them in a single layer on a plate, cover with a piece parchment and then a layer of foil. Heat in at 350ºF oven for about 15-20 minutes until hot.

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 14 hours 35 minutes

Ingredients

The night before:

  • 1 cup whole milk (I used raw milk – and if using whole wheat flour, increase the milk by 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup whole plain yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups bubbly starter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose organic flour (or organic whole wheat flour)
  • 2 tablespoon organic cane sugar or maple sugar

The next morning:

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 2–3 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying
  • Maple syrup and butter for serving

Instructions

  1. The morning before, whisk together the milk, yogurt, starter, flour and sugar in a bowl. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  2. Remove the mixture from the fridge and let sit at room temp for 30 minutes.
  3. Whisk the baking soda, baking powder, salt, butter and yolks into the flour mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the batter.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl the pan to coat. Spoon pancake batter, about 1/4 cup each, into pan and cook until edges are set and the first side is golden, about 2-4 minutes. Flip the pancakes and continue cooking until the second side is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Serve with butter, maple syrup, or any other toppings of your choice.

      It depends on what kind of thyroid issues. If you are needing to avoid grains right now, this pancake recipe is a great one! https://deliciouslyorganic.net/easy-blender-pancakes-grain-free-paleo/

    This recipe looks delicious, but I am so confused. Everything I have read since becoming diagnosed with Hashimoto's 3 months ago says to avoid wheat and dairy. Does making the mixture fermented really make the gluten not bother you? How about dairy, is it as toxic as I have read? Please help?

      A grain-free diet isn’t meant to be lifelong. Once you’ve taken the proper steps to heal, you can often slowly add properly prepared grains back into your diet with the help of your nutritionist or holistic practitioner. As for dairy, we've found at our practice that unless one has a dairy allergy, raw or cultured dairy can often be a part of a thyroid healing diet.

    I just started on my sourdough starter journey and had no idea how incredible sourdough pancakes were. I've been missing out on this deliciousness for my entire life! I have to try your recipe - it's slightly different and love that you include greek yogurt. Thanks for your spin on sourdough pancakes!

        Have you tried fermentation for 2 days? I haven’t eaten any sourdough yet that is only fermented overnight. That’s not even 24 hours. I made your bread & cinnamon rolls, and have no issues. Just like the dough for cinnamon bread/rolls, could this sit for more than a day?

          I haven't tested it, but it would be worth giving it a try!

      Doesn’t refrigeration stop the batter from fermenting?

        No, it creates a slow fermentation process.

          Could I just ferment on the counter overnight for 12 hours rather than 24 in refrigerator?

    Hi, I'm interested in making this recipe and I'd like to know if I can use water instead of milk and flaxseed-egg instead of eggs? We do not drink milk, we are ok with yogurt and sadly I don't tolerate egg whites. Thank you in advance

      I haven't tested this recipe with substitutions, so I don't know what would lend the exact same texture and flavor.

    Have these been made with a gluten free grain substitute? How will they turn out ? ( My husband has had Hashimoto's for years, and has a wheat sensitivity!) Thank you!

    Is the first part of the recipe supposed to say "The Morning Before" vs "The Night Before"? If it is the night before it would not be fermenting for 24 hours. Thank you for clarifying.

      Yes, it's supposed to say the morning before. This way it ferments for 24 hours.
