Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (4 tablespoons or 57g) butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (245g) milk, room temperature (I like whole milk, but any % will work)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cups (341g) sourdough starter, discard or fed
  • cups (187.5g) all-purpose flour, (can also use bread or whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the griddle. (We like anywhere between 325°F and 350°F)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, and sourdough starter until combined.
  • Whisk in the remaining ingredients one at a time (the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt). The batter will be fairly runny. (It will puff up, don't worry!)
  • Once the griddle is hot, gently stir the pancake batter and use a 1/3 measuring cup to pour the batter onto the grill. (If the batter is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.)
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, and then flip them over, cooking them for 1-2 more minutes. Timing will depend on your griddle.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
