With their mild tang, sourdough pancakes are a tasty change from your usual breakfast short stack. You might worry that the sourdough flavor will be strong enough to clash with syrup or your other favorite toppings, but it's not the case: Pancakes made with sourdough starter simply taste a bit richer and more nuanced than the norm. If you're looking for a sturdier base (that can hold even more maple syrup), use our Overnight Sourdough Waffles recipe.
