Sourdough and Banana Pancakes

A tasty and easy breakfast for two hearty appetites! Perfect for when you need to use up some starter and have an overripe banana. I add mini chocolate chips to mine.

Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup sour cream
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• ½ cup sourdough starter
• 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
• ½ cup milk, or as needed
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted, divided

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.
