1/2 cup sourdough starter
1 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil (or butter), for greasing the pan or griddle
Berries, garnish
Maple syrup, garnish
Powdered sugar, garnish
Melted butter, garnish
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Combine the sourdough starter with the milk and flour in a large bowl that is big enough to allow the mixture to rise.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it on the counter overnight; the batter needs to rise and continue to develop its sourdough flavor. This will be your overnight sponge and the base for the pancakes.
-
In the morning, add the beaten eggs, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the sourdough starter mixture. Whisk until combined and smooth.
-
Whisk in the cooled melted butter and the vanilla extract. The batter will be very thick and almost like a slack bread dough after you are done mixing.
-
Heat up a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add a little bit of neutral oil or butter. Turn the heat down to medium-low and ladle 1/4 cup batter to the skillet. Cook for a few minutes until bubbles start forming on top and the pancakes are browned on the underside.
-
Flip the pancakes over and cook for another minute on the other side. It doesn't take as long on the second side, so watch carefully. Repeat with the remaining batter.
-
Serve the pancakes with fresh berries, maple syrup, powdered sugar, and/or melted butter.
How to Store & Freeze Sourdough Pancakes
Leftover pancakes can be refrigerated for up to 5 days and reheated in the microwave or toaster oven.
Pancakes can also be frozen for up to three months. Slip piece of parchment or wax paper between pancakes to keep them from sticking to each other once frozen. Pancakes can be microwaved or toasted directly from the freezer.
