These pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic sourdough flapjacks, offering a fluffy texture and rich flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, milk, and vegetable oil.
Ensure the sourdough starter is bubbly and active for the best results.
Add the egg, sugar, and salt to the mixture and whisk until smooth.
Crack the egg into a separate bowl first to avoid any shell pieces.
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Sift the flour beforehand to prevent lumps.
Dissolve the baking soda in a tablespoon of warm water and gently fold it into the batter.
Mix gently to avoid deflating the batter.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Test the griddle's heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should sizzle.
Pour small amounts of batter onto the griddle to form pancakes.
Use a ladle for consistent pancake sizes.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Avoid pressing down on the pancakes to keep them fluffy.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while preparing the rest.
