Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir until well incorporated.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. Let the batter rest for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the sourdough starter to activate and create a light and airy texture in the pancakes.

  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.

  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

  9. Serve the sourdough pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dollop of whipped cream.
