Sourdough Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk together until smooth.

In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar (if using).

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
