How to Make Quick Sourdough Pancakes

  1. Whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  2. Add ½ cup active sourdough starter and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter to the dry ingredients.
  3. Stir in ¾ cup milk and 1 large egg.
  4. Mix until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Let the batter rest for 1-2 minutes while you heat your skillet.
  6. Heat a lightly oiled cast iron skillet (or non-stick skillet) over medium heat.
  7. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
  8. Cook for 45-60 seconds per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
