Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 113 Grams Sourdough Starter, Fed, Unfed, or Discard (1/2 Cup)
  • 60 Grams Milk (1/4 Cup)
  • 1 Gram Vanilla Extract (1/4 Teaspoon)
  • 14 Grams Butter, Melted (1 Tablespoon)
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 30 Grams All-Purpose Flour (1/4 Cup)
  • 4 Grams Baking Powder (1 Teaspoon)
  • 6 Grams White Granulated Sugar (1 1/2 Teaspoons)
  • 1.5 Grams Salt (1/4 Teaspoon)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Dash Mini Pancake Maker.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: Sourdough starter, milk, vanilla extract, butter, and egg.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
  5. Lightly grease the pancake skillet, and pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pancake maker. Cook for 2 1/2 minutes, flip, and then cook for another 2 1/2 minutes for a total of 5 minutes. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
  6. Top with fresh fruit, fruit syrup, or peanut butter drizzle and enjoy.

Notes

Just as a heads up, I used the Dash mini pancake maker for this recipe, and it made 5 pancakes. If you make them in a regular skillet, this recipe only makes about 2 to 3 average-sized pancakes rather than 5 mini ones. 
I feed my sourdough starter whole wheat flour to 100% hydration: equal parts water and flour (40 grams of each). I prefer using whole wheat so my pancakes have more fiber. However, this recipe should still work just fine if you use all-purpose.
