Alaska is known for many things including its beautiful terrain, bountiful wildlife and… sourdough! Although San Francisco miners first popularized the tangy, chewy bread during the California Gold Rush, experienced miners in Alaska called, “sourdoughs,” continued the trend and added their own take on the bread during the Klondike Gold Rush. One of the most popular variations is the Alaska sourdough pancakes. At Alaskan Sourdough B&B, a bed and breakfast in Cooper Landing, Alaska, guests won’t wake up disappointed after tasting the inn’s “world renowned sourdough pancakes.” The secret tasty recipe dates as far back as the 1800s and is topped with cranberries, blueberries or peaches. Once you’ve cleaned your plate, build up your appetite for the next morning with an outdoor day fishing trip, nearby horse trails, hiking or experience a traditional Eskimo sauna.
