Ingredients

  • 2 cups sourdough starter
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup neutral cooking oil
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • additional oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together the ¼ cup neutral cooking oil, 2 large eggs, and 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar.
    Bowl with beaten eggs, oil, and sugar ready for the sourdough starter.
  • Add the 2 cups sourdough starter, ½ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Stir to combine.
    Sourdough pancake batter, ready to be cooked.
  • Heat a skillet with a little bit of oil over medium heat.
  • When the skillet is hot enough to sizzle when a drop of water hits it, scoop about ½ cup of batter onto the pan.
  • After about 2 minutes the pancake should stop bubbling. That is when you want to flip it over. Adjust the heat as necessary to get your preferred amount of browning while also cooking the pancake through.

Notes

If you don't have enough sourdough starter, just feed it the night before and leave it out. It will be happy and bubbly and ready to make pancakes in the morning.
