Fluffy Sourdough Pancakes

Ingredients

Sourdough starter

1 cup

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Milk

1 cup

Egg

1 large

Granulated sugar

2 tablespoons

Baking soda

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Unsalted butter

2 tablespoons, melted (plus more for cooking)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, milk, egg, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt until a smooth batter forms.
2. Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. This resting period allows the sourdough culture to further develop the flavor and create a light, airy texture.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly brush the surface with melted butter to prevent sticking.
4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes.
5. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown on both sides.
6. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter, adding more melted butter as needed.
7. Serve the sourdough pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
