Welcome to Hello Sourdough, your one-stop destination for everything related to sourdough bread making. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, we have all the recipes, tips, and techniques you need to create delicious sourdough treats. Today, we're sharing one of our favorite recipes: Sourdough Pancakes.

To make these mouthwatering pancakes, you'll need a few simple ingredients. First, gather 1 cup of sourdough starter, 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. These ingredients come together to create a fluffy and tangy pancake that will leave you craving more.

To start, combine the sourdough starter, flour, and milk in a large bowl. Allow the mixture to rest overnight, giving the flavors time to develop. In the morning, beat in the egg, sugar, and salt, ensuring everything is well incorporated. Dissolve the baking soda in 1 tablespoon of warm water and add it to the mixture, giving it a gentle stir. Finally, add the melted butter and mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Now it's time to cook these delectable pancakes. Heat a griddle or frying pan and grease it with your preferred cooking oil or butter. Pour the batter onto the hot surface, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat this process until all the batter is used.

As with any recipe, there are a few tips to keep in mind. Avoid overmixing the batter, as this can result in tough pancakes. Letting the batter rest overnight is crucial, as it allows the sourdough to work its magic and create that distinct tangy flavor. Additionally, make sure to cook the pancakes at the right temperature to achieve that perfect golden brown color.

With these simple steps, you'll be able to create delicious sourdough pancakes that are sure to impress. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if your first batch isn't flawless. Keep experimenting and soon you'll be making perfect sourdough pancakes every time.
