Gluten-Free Sourdough Pancakes
Makes 10
The slightly sour flavor of these pancakes is complemented by sweet, traditional toppings like maple syrup, birch syrup, or fruit preserves. My favorite is a mixture of equal parts melted butter and raw honey.
3 cups mature Gluten-Free Natural Levain Starter Culture
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for oiling the griddle
2 tablespoons whole cane sugar or palm sugar
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
½ teaspoon unrefined sea salt, finely ground
Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl combine starter, eggs, and melted butter. In a small bowl combine sugar, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk the starter mixture while slowly adding the dry ingredients. Continue to wisk until a smooth batter forms, about 2 minutes.
Lightly oil the griddle. Pour ½ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Flip when the batter begins to dry about one-inch in around the edges. This takes 1-2 minutes. Cook until evenly browned on the second side, about 2-3 minutes. Keep the finished pancakes warm in a single layer on the oven rack.
Store any leftover pancakes tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a toaster oven set on low.
Variations:
After adding the dry ingredients fold in:
1 apple peeled and diced, plus 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, or
½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries, or
½ cup of leftover cooked gluten-free grains (like rice, millet, or quinoa).
This pancake is ready to flip. The batter has begun to dry about one-inch in around the edges.

Those look delicious. My gluten-free sourdough starters have never worked…I’m going to give your method a try.
Yep, I never had a GF starter work out until this one courtesy of a great teacher in Portland, Durga Fuller. Let me know how it turns out!
Where do you get the Levian starter? Thanks!
There’s a link to the starter recipe when it is called for in the Pancake recipe, just float over it & click. It will take you right over to it:) Let me know if you need any more help finding it.
