Instructions

First, add egg, milk and oil to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.

Then, add in all remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.

If you have time, allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to develop.

After 10 minutes, add butter to a skillet over low medium heat. Allow butter to melt.

Pour ¼ cup of batter into the buttered pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Once the pancake has started to bubble, carefully flip.

Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side.

Carefully remove to a plate. Serve!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Maximize Sourdough Flavor Development ⏰
Let your batter rest for 15-30 minutes after mixing to allow the sourdough starter's natural fermentation to enhance tanginess and create better rise without over-relying on chemical leaveners.
Balance Your Leavening Agents 🧪
Reduce baking powder and soda by 25% compared to traditional recipes since sourdough starter provides additional lift; this prevents a metallic aftertaste and keeps pancakes tender rather than cakey.
Separate Eggs for Ultimate Fluffiness 🥚
Whip egg whites to stiff peaks separately and fold them in last to create impossibly light, airy pancakes that maintain their height and delicate texture throughout cooking.
Use Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring milk, eggs, and sourdough starter to room temperature before mixing to ensure even incorporation and consistent batter that cooks uniformly, preventing dense centers and burnt edges.
Master the Griddle Temperature Sweet Spot 🔥
Heat your griddle to 350°F and wait until water droplets sizzle and evaporate immediately—this ensures the exterior sets while the interior stays fluffy, and prevents premature browning that traps uncooked batter inside.
