Sourdough Pancakes
Nourishing Traditions
These pancakes have a pleasantly sour flavor from soaking the whole wheat flour overnight. Soaking makes the flour more digestible and softens its flavor.

12 Servings
Ingredients
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour, whole wheat pastry
2 cups yogurt
2 tablespoons butter
2 egg
Instructions
Soak flour in yogurt in a warm place overnight (cover with a damp towel). The next morning, stir in the eggs, salt, baking soda and melted butter. Thin with water to desired consistency. Cook on a hot, oiled griddle or skillet.
These pancakes cook more slowly than either un-soaked whole grain flour or white flour pancakes. The texture will be chewy and the taste pleasantly like sourdough. Serve with melted butter and raw honey, maple syrup, or homemade applesauce.
Notes
Use local products! Try using Gleasons Grains' whole wheat flour, Butterworks Farm yogurt and Riverberry Farm Eggs.
