For optimal flavor, use a sourdough starter that has been recently fed and is at its peak activity. If you prefer a sweeter pancake, increase the sugar to 3 tablespoons. Buttermilk adds a delightful tang, but if you don't have it on hand, you can substitute with 1 cup of milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, sourdough starter, flour, and buttermilk in the order listed until just combined. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
Gently fold in the baking soda. The batter will become light and bubbly. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb. (2 minutes)
03
Step
1 mins
Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter. A properly heated griddle will ensure even cooking and golden-brown pancakes. (5 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. (1 minute)
05
Step
2 mins
Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 3-4 minutes. (4 minutes)
06
Step
4 mins
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. (3 minutes)
07
Step
3 mins
To check for doneness, gently press the center of a pancake; it should spring back lightly. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning. (variable)
