Green Apple Sourdough Pancakes

Had half of an apple left over, so we thought we'd give these a try. Overall, so-so. Followed the Food Network's Green Apple-Sourdough Pancakes.

Sourdough Starter:
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 cup Saison
1 1/2 T packed light brown sugar
2 T unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour


Make the sourdough starter: 

  • Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat to about 110 degrees F. 
  • Transfer to a medium bowl, sprinkle with the yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the cider, brown sugar, butter and 1 cup flour until smooth. 
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature overnight.
For the Pancakes:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 small tart green apple (such as
Granny Smith), unpeeled, diced


Make the pancakes: 
  • Whisk 1/2 cup flour, the egg, baking soda and apple into the sourdough starter. 
  • Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto buttered griddle for each pancake.
