How to Make Cowboy Sourdough Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), and 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast.
  2. Mix well to combine and cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Let it sit at room temperature overnight (approximately 8-12 hours).
  3. In the morning, stir in 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ cup milk. Beat the batter until smooth and slightly thin; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
