Sourdough Pancakes

Sourdough Pancakes - Cheryl's version 10.18.22

*NOTE: Except for Step 2 below, don't overmix anything. Leaving lumps in the batter helps give a fluffier texture. 

1) Mix lightly together in a medium/large bowl, and allow this mixture to ferment until bubbly:
  • 1&1/4 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1&1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
2) Meanwhile, thoroughly mix together in a small bowl:
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking POWDER
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking SODA
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
3) When the first mixture is ready from Step 1, gently mix in:
  • The salt/flour mixture from Step 2 above
  • 1 large, beaten egg 
  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter (melted, but cooled down)
4) After mixing everything, you can add milk, about a tablespoon at a time, if the pancake batter is too thick. The amount of milk you need will depend on how thick or runny the starter is.
