Friendship Fruit Starter Pancakes

Friendship Fruit Starter Pancakes

Never underestimate the power of a pancake to bring people together, especially when it’s made with a friendship fruit starter that’s been bubbling with love (and yeast) for weeks. These pancakes are not just breakfast; they’re a breakfast event, a reason to gather around the table and maybe, just maybe, forgive your friend for that time they ‘borrowed’ your favorite sweater.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup friendship fruit starter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp clarified butter, plus more for cooking
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the friendship fruit starter, sifted all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  2. Add the whole milk, lightly beaten pasture-raised egg, clarified butter, and pure vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (350°F) and brush with a thin layer of clarified butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, cooking until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Tip: Resist the urge to press down on the pancakes; this squeezes out the air bubbles and makes them less fluffy.
  5. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings. Tip: For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle with maple syrup infused with a splash of bourbon.

Marvel at the light, airy texture of these pancakes, each bite infused with the subtle tang of the friendship fruit starter. The flavor is uniquely comforting, with a hint of nostalgia that pairs perfectly with a side of crispy bacon or a dollop of whipped cream. For a creative twist, layer them with lemon curd and fresh berries for a pancake stack that’s as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious.
