Today is National Pancake Day. One of the easiest sourdough recipes to make is pancakes. Our family always enjoyed Oatmeal Pancakes and these have now become a favorite. The batter is easily mixed the night before and refrigerate until morning. The remaining ingredients are added and the pancakes are fried on a cast iron griddle.

I made these the other day with some starter I’d fed and made loaves of bread with- they turned out great! Then I refrigerated the leftover starter and made these today after mixing the first 3 ingredients last night and allowing to sit at room temp overnight.
It didn’t seem to rise at all. Did I mix too much? The starter looked super healthy straight from the fridge… should I have woken it up? The pancakes are tasty today- but not at thick as last time and I don’t taste as much sourdough… so I wonder if they didn’t ferment well… there were bubbles all in it- but no rise. I’m a novice obviously! Help!
was your starter thinner than other times?
No- I’ve made it 2 more times since and they’ve turned out great! The difference was a hungry starter vs an already fed starter, I think?
Great!
Would there be a good egg-free substitute?
Have you tried duck eggs?
No, I haven’t. Never even seen them in stores.
Making these for my husband (not THM:) is there a reason I can’t use whole eggs? And will the batter keep in the fridge to use over several days? Thanks! Just getting started with my starter!
You can use whole eggs. I would not keep it more than 2 days in the fridge.
Can I use 1 cup of Oat Flour or does it measure different than grinding 1 cup of rolled oats?
use a 7/8 cup oat flour
Is there any reason why you couldn’t also soak the oat flour overnight?
oat flour does not need to be fermented but you can if you want to.
These are fantastic! I’d like to know more about how sourdough works with Thm.
can I use the batter to make waffles instead?
Can you substiture Splet flour for Whole Wheat?
yes, you can.
I’m wondering if and how much the batter will rise on the counter overnight. The ingredients total 4 3/4 cups. Will I wake to an overflowed batter if I use my 8 cup glass measuring cup?
It will almost double.
The starter flour and water didn’t seem to grow at all… 🤔🤔
if it has bubbles it fermented.
It did bubble and smelled like it had fermented. Pancakes turned out well, but the batter seemed to spread pretty thin on the griddle. They were delicious though.
I just mixed the starter, flour and water to ferment. Now I’ve realized this will make way more than I want to make tomorrow. Could I take half of this mixture and put it in the fridge for another day, when I wake up tomorrow morning?
I wanted to note that I modify this recipe to be gluten-free by using GF sourdough starter and a GF flour blend: either yours or, usually, Nicole Burch’s (https://lifeinthetreehouse.com/2021/01/10/gluten-free-baking-flour-blend/). Thank you for sharing this!
