08 Oct Sourdough Pancakes w/ Caramelized Apples
What’s life in Lund like? It’s great but kinda stressful. My schooldays are very long, I have so many things to do and I’m also renovating my apartment. At first I didn’t have a shower for almost 3 weeks and had to shower at the gym. And at the moment I don’t have a kitchen and the rest (read one bedroom) is filled with Ikea cabinets for the new kitchen. So apart from doing the dishes on the toilet, living in a chaos and not having time for anything, it’s great! I love Lund, I love architecture school and I love being able to sketch and paint all day long and call it schoolwork.
When fall started to arrive here in Lund a few weeks ago (pre kitchen renovation) I couldn’t stop thinking about apples, cinnamon and all the autumny things in the world. So I made buttery sourdough pancakes with caramelized apples and a lot of cinnamon. And then I topped it with pecans because why wouldn’t I? They were delicious and writing this post and looking at the pictures just makes me want to have pancakes…
Ingredients
- overnight sponge:
- 60 g oat flour
- 60 g millet flour
- 30 g caster sugar
- 170 g oat milk
- 120 g gluten free sourdough starter (100% hydration), refrigerated
- pancake batter:
- all of the overnight sponge
- 1 egg
- 50 g melted butter, cooled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp psyllium husk powder
- caramelized apples:
- 2 small apples, cored and cut into thin slices
- 25 g butter
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- a handful of pecans, roughly chopped
Instructions
- In the evening: Mix all of the ingredients for the overnight sponge in a medium sized bowl. Cover with cling film and let rest in room temperature overnight.
- In the morning: Make the caramelized apples first by sautéing the apples with the butter, sugar and cinnamon in a large non stick pan for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Take the apples of the heat before they get too soggy, I like it when the apples still have some bite in them.
- Then make the pancake batter. Add the egg, melted (and cooled) butter, salt, baking powder and psyllium husk powder to the overnight sponge and whisk together.
- Heat a large non stick pan(you can use the same as for the apples, just make sure to wipe it out before.) and add a tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has started bubbling and then turned quiet pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter for each pancake into your hot pan. You should be able to fit 3 pancakes at a time. Flip the pancakes once the bubbles that appear on the top stay their. Cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat for all the pancakes.
- Serve the warm pancakes with the caramelized apples and roughly chopped pecans. Enjoy!

Posted at 14:11h, 11 OctoberI’d totally send you some pancakes from my kitchen to Lund, but I guess they won’t survive the long travel, or the post man might eat them ;-)… I can’t imagine having to live without a kitchen (even though I’ve been living without a complete one for a few days recently as well – yay or nay for a uni apartment..). But I bet it’s going to be great once everything is finished – fingers crossed! and a big YAY for architecture university – I just started as well and it’s so great isn’t it?

Posted at 06:12h, 14 OctoberThe move sounds really tough, but having your own apartment must be exciting! Architecture school sounds fun, too — glad to hear you’re enjoying it. 😀
And those pancakes look amazing. I love making pancakes (or waffles) with just pure sourdough starter sometimes. Just pour and cook! And then eat. With lots of delicious butter and honey.
