Ingredients

• 240 grams sourdough starter
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 240 milliliters milk
• 30 grams sugar
• 1 egg
• 56 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, and milk. Stir well to form a smooth batter, then cover and let sit at room temperature for 8-12 hours or overnight. This will allow the flavors to develop.

Step 2

In the morning, whisk in the sugar, egg, melted butter, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract to the overnight batter until everything is well combined and the batter is smooth.

Step 3

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease the surface with some butter if needed.

Step 4

Once the cooking surface is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them a few inches apart.

Step 5

Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Step 7

Serve the pancakes hot with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream.
