Mom's Buttermilk Sourdough Pancakes

This is the kind of recipe that becomes a family tradition.

Mom knew that sourdough starter brings something special to pancakes: complexity, tang, and a tender crumb you just can’t get any other way.

The buttermilk pancake mix keeps prep quick while the active starter does the heavy lifting on flavor.

Fold in whatever berries are in season, or keep them plain and top with maple syrup.

Chef Tips

• Active starter essential: Make sure your starter is bubbly and recently fed for best flavor
• Berry bonanza: Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or diced strawberries all work beautifully
• Brief rest time: Letting the batter stand for a few moments improves texture
• Make it special: Serve with fresh berries and a drizzle of warm maple syrup
