Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Sourdough starter (discard or active)
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 180 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 15 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Neutral oil or butter for the skillet
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, and milk. Mix until smooth, then allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes. This step helps hydrate the flour and develop the sourdough flavor.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Add the egg mixture to the sourdough mixture and stir gently until fully combined.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the batter, then fold them in using a spatula. The batter will become bubbly as the baking soda reacts with the sourdough.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of neutral oil or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between each pancake to allow for spreading.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the second side, until golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
