Liege Pancakes

Fluffy sourdough pancakes paired with caramelized sugar pearls. Perfect for Sunday brunch or a stay-at-home breakfast ✨

We know that Liege pancakes aren't actually a "thing"... but we don't have a waffle iron so we opted for the best solution! These pancakes are super fluffy thanks to "bob", our handy-dandy sourdough starter.

And filled with crunchy and sweet caramelized sugar pearls.

Topped with coconut whipped cream and maple syrup, with a side of sliced bananas.

Perfection!

Description

These fluffy Liege-styled waffles are perfect for Sunday brunches or stay-at-home breakfasts. They are fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The classic traits of a Liege waffle, but in a pancake shape! 🥞

Ingredients:

1 cup sourdough discard

1 ripe banana

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

½ cup water

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup AP flour (150 g)

1 tsp baking soda

pinch of salt

½ cup sugar pearls

oil

Optional:

Maple Syrup

Coconut Whipped Cream

Instructions:

1. Mash your ripe banana and sourdough discard until smooth.

2. Add your apple cider vinegar, water, and vanilla extract.

3. Sift in flour, baking soda, and salt into the sourdough mixture. Let the batter rest for at least 20 minutes.

4. Oil the tops of ramekins to use as molds (optional)

5. Heat a cast-iron pan, pour ½ cup of batter into your molds.

6. Add 4-6 sugar pearls and lightly push them into the pancakes. Flip when the surface bubbles (3-5 minutes). Repeat until you have used up your batter. *

7. Serve with coconut whipped cream, maple syrup, and your favorite fruits!

Note:

* The pearls should be slightly peaking out. This allows the sugar to melt and create a caramelized surface. Make sure to re-oil your pan each time.
