Crafted with tangy sourdough starter, a touch of sweetness from sugar, and the rich aroma of vanilla, these pancakes boast a unique depth of flavor that sets them apart from traditional recipes.

Perfectly golden and airy, these pancakes are ideal for serving with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings. Easy to make and perfect for using leftover sourdough starter, this recipe strikes the perfect balance between comfort food and culinary creativity. Whether you're planning a weekend brunch or a cozy morning treat, these sourdough pancakes are sure to delight your taste buds!
In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, and milk. Stir well to form a smooth batter, then cover and let sit at room temperature for 8-12 hours or overnight. This will allow the flavors to develop.
In the morning, whisk in the sugar, egg, melted butter, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract to the overnight batter until everything is well combined and the batter is smooth.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease the surface with some butter if needed.
Once the cooking surface is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them a few inches apart.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Serve the pancakes hot with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream.
