In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, and milk. Stir until well mixed, cover the bowl, and let it sit at room temperature for about 6-8 hours or overnight. This allows the fermentation process to develop flavor.
When ready to make the pancakes, uncover the bowl and stir the mixture to deflate it slightly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold the egg mixture into the sourdough batter. Be careful not to overmix to keep the batter light and airy.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt evenly over the batter and fold gently again to incorporate.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Spread slightly with the back of a spoon if needed. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy the taste of tradition!
