Ingredients

Scale

1 cup active sourdough starter
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the active sourdough starter, milk, and egg until smooth.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles appear (about 2-3 minutes). Flip carefully and cook until golden brown (about another 2 minutes).
Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
