Start your morning with the perfect balance of tangy and sweet by making these delightfully fluffy Sourdough Pancakes using an Amish Friendship Bread Starter. This recipe combines the rich depth of a fermented starter with classic pancake ingredients for a unique twist on your favorite breakfast treat. Quick and easy to prepare, the batter comes together in just 10 minutes, offering a delicious way to use up your tangy starter while creating pancakes with a tender texture and golden-brown finish. Enhanced with a touch of vanilla and a hint of sweetness, these pancakes are perfect served with butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit. Ideal for weekend brunch or weekday mornings, these sourdough pancakes are a crowd-pleaser you'll turn to again and again.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the Amish Friendship Bread starter, milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. It's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil, if necessary.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed.
Serve warm with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
