Top tip to make this Red White and Blue Sourdough Pancakes
Tips for making red, white, and blue pancakes are do not add berries and set aside the batter. As it will increase the moisture content and make thin pancakes.
You can use any flour sourdough starter/discard however adding whole wheat starter or whole grain starter or discard can reduce the fluffiness of the pancakes.
First make a well in the dry ingredients, then incorporate wet ingredients.
Also let the batter be lumpy. Don’t overmix the batter as it can make pancakes less soft.
The ideal griddle temperature for pancakes is 375°F or a medium setting for gas stovetop burners. The correct cooking temperature is key to making a perfect pancake. An overheated griddle can easily burn the pancakes as outside cooks faster than inside leaving undercook.
Variations
You can use raspberries instead of strawberries used in this recipe.
If you want use can use frozen berries, however, don’t thaw them before adding to the batter. And cook immediately.
You can add sugar to this recipe.
Equipment
For making the sourdough red and blue pancakes always use cast iron skillet or griddle. You can also use electric griddle. But make sure that the temperature should be made uniform.
Storage
These pancakes taste best freshly served.
Wrap the pancakes in foil and just stick them in the refrigerator for short term use.
If you want long term use, then wrap them individually and freeze the pancakes.
