How to Make Yukon Sourdough Flapjacks Pancakes

  1. **Proof your starter:** Feed your sourdough starter with equal parts flour and water (e.g., 1/4 cup each). Cover and let rise overnight at room temperature.
  2. **Prepare the batter:** In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of active sourdough starter, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix gently.
  3. **Add flour:** Gradually add 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Add more flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the batter reaches your desired consistency (slightly thick). Avoid overmixing.
  4. **Activate baking soda:** In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1 tablespoon of warm water.
  5. **Combine and rest:** Gently fold the baking soda mixture into the batter. Do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes (optional, but enhances flavor).
  6. **Cook the pancakes:** Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface.
  7. **Flip and finish:** Cook for 2-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. **Serve immediately:** Serve your Yukon Sourdough Flapjacks hot with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
