Ingredients

1 Cup Sourdough Starter active or discard, at room temperature, (240g)
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour (120g)
2 Tablespoons Sugar (25g)
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Large Egg
3/4 Cup Milk (180ml), adjust for thinner or thicker batter
2 Tablespoons Butter melted (30g) or olive oil
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Don’t overmix!
1 Cup Sourdough Starter, 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour, 2 Tablespoons Sugar, 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder, 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda, 1/2 Teaspoon Salt, 1 Large Egg, 3/4 Cup Milk, 2 Tablespoons Butter, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the sourdough to hydrate the flour and makes the pancakes even fluffier.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the top of the dough and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm under a tea towel until ready to serve. Top with butter and maple syrup, fresh berries, or even peanut butter for a hearty breakfast.
