Perfect for cozy mornings or an impressive brunch spread!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, whole milk, and flour. Stir until smooth and no lumps remain. Cover loosely with a towel and let the batter rest at room temperature for about 8 hours or overnight for a stronger sourdough flavor.
The next morning, whisk in the sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is well-combined.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet, spreading it thinly with the back of a spoon to create a large, thin, round pancake.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake gently and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining pancakes, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy these delicate, tangy sourdough pancakes inspired by the Original Pancake House's famous 49er flapjacks!
