Mother’s Day is a wonderful time to prepare a special breakfast for your mother. Making a delicious yeast pancake breakfast with some fresh fruit and a cup of hot coffee or tea will make a cozy Mother’s Day breakfast. Sourdough Pancakes is a type of pancake that utilizes a yeast leavening agent. It has a more tart and moist texture than traditional pancakes and has a strong yeast flavor. To make yeast pancakes, flour, yeast leavening agent, milk or yogurt, eggs, and some sweetener (such as sugar or maple syrup) are usually used, and they are mixed in a large bowl to form a batter. Yeast pancakes are fluffy and rich in flavor due to the leavening agent. They can be flavored with fruits, nuts or other toppings according to personal taste. Yeast pancakes are usually served for breakfast, but can also be served with jam, cream or maple syrup. You can also add some heart shaped fruit or chocolate chips on top of the yeast pancakes to add a special surprise to this breakfast. Mother will love this heartfelt breakfast.
What are the benefits of Sourdough Pancakes?
Yeast pancakes are fermented with yeast, which means they are easier to digest and can help your body absorb nutrients better. Yeast pancakes usually contain more vitamins and minerals than regular pancakes, especially B vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc. And choosing the right cookware can help make it easier for you to make healthy yeast pancakes. For example, a large bowl allows you to mix the batter easily, while a skillet heats and cooks the pancakes evenly. A proper skillet spatula or pancake spatula can help you flip and move pancakes to ensure they are evenly heated.

- Use well-fermented yeast to thin the batter and make sure it is fully fermented, which will add to the texture and aroma of the pancakes. It is recommended to ferment the batter well in advance before making, which usually takes at least 12 hours.
- The yeast-fermented batter will have a certain acidic flavor, so you need to control the acidity in the recipe so as not to affect the taste. The acidity can be balanced by adding the right amount of alkaline ingredients (e.g. baking soda).
- The cooking process of pancakes requires attention to heat and time control, to ensure that the pancakes are golden and crispy on both sides and well cooked inside. It is also recommended to add toppings such as fruit or maple syrup to the pancakes to add texture and flavor.

How should I know if the batter is the right consistency?
You can tell by looking at the flow of the batter. When the batter is poured into the bowl, it should flow slowly and be slightly thick. If the batter is too thick, gradually add small amounts of milk until you reach the desired consistency.
-
How should I time the flipping of my pancakes?
When bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancake and the edges become slightly dry, gently flip the pancake with a spatula or pancake scoop. Usually the bottom of the pancake should be golden brown in color.
-
What if I want to add fruit or other toppings to my pancakes?
Immediately after pouring the batter into the pan, sprinkle chopped fruit or other toppings evenly over the top of the pancake. When the bottom of the pancake is golden brown and bubbles begin to form on the surface, gently flip the pancake to ensure that the toppings are evenly distributed throughout the pancake.
