Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active or discard)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1:
In a large bowl, mix the sourdough starter, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 2:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
Step 3:
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix — a few lumps are okay.
Step 4:
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Step 5:
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
Step 6:
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
Step 7:
Flip and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 8:
Serve hot with syrup, honey, butter, or fresh fruits.
💡 Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Use active sourdough starter for fluffier pancakes.
- Don’t overmix — it keeps pancakes soft and airy.
- Let batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
- Cook on medium heat — too high will burn the outside.
- Add blueberries or chocolate chips for extra flavor 🍫🫐
