Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted, divided
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup milk, or as needed
• 1.5 tablespoons white sugar
• 0.5 cup sourdough starter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.

Step 2

Mash banana in another bowl. Stir in sourdough starter, sour cream, egg, 2 tablespoons butter, and vanilla extract. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Mix in milk gradually until batter is pourable but some lumps remain.

Step 3

Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Grease lightly with melted butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake, keeping them 2 inches apart. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
