For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for a full 15 minutes before cooking. If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk until it reaches your desired consistency. To keep pancakes warm while you cook the rest, place them on a wire rack in a preheated 200°F (93°C) oven. For a richer flavor, substitute melted butter for the vegetable oil. Adjust sugar according to starter sourness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the sourdough starter is active and bubbly. (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, milk, egg, and vegetable oil until well combined. (2 minutes)
03
StepCombine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (2 minutes)
04
StepMix Batter: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. (10 minutes)
05
StepCook Pancakes: Lightly grease a griddle or large skillet with cooking spray or clarified butter and heat over medium heat. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle. (2 minutes)
06
StepFlip and Finish: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. (3 minutes)
07
StepServe Immediately: Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Feb 4, 2025I found that using a lower heat and cooking them slower resulted in even more golden brown pancakes.
