These eggless whole-wheat sourdough pancakes are absolutely delicious. They are fluffy just like regular pancakes. The recipe can be easily altered to make vegan pancakes. Just replace milk with coconut milk.

I started baking bread at home a few years ago. Recently, when commercial yeast became scarce in stores, I started making my own sourdough bread with naturally occurring wild yeasts. An important step in making a sourdough starter at home is discarding part of the dough every 12 hours. Not wanting to be wasteful, I decided to make these pancakes. Check out the recipe for this easy sourdough starter.

I use a cast iron griddle to cook my pancakes. I have always preferred steel or cast iron to non-stick pots and pans. The pan or griddle has to be hot enough before you scoop your pancake batter on the griddle. The way to check this is to sprinkle some water on the griddle. When the droplets of water dance on the griddle before evaporating your pan is ready to cook pancakes.

This recipe makes about 6 5-inch pancakes, however you can easily double this recipe.

To make these eggless whole-wheat sourdough pancakes requires very basic ingredients – flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, oil and milk. You can skip chocolate chips and cinnamon or make different additions. You can add vanilla, or blueberries, or bananas. The list is endless. Be as innovative as you wish. Feel free to alter the amount of sugar in the recipe. Enjoy the warm pancakes with some butter, syrup or honey.
