Fluffier Overnight Sourdough Pancakes

cake

You can use sourdough starter straight from the jar for a quick batch of pancakes. But if you want something a bit fluffier, this recipe for sourdough pancakes does the trick. They are quick and simple and pretty tasty, and a great way to use up extra starter. Any type of grain or starter can be used. If you don’t have the starter please ask me and I’ll be happy to share some with you! photos coco zordan

The trick to thicker, fluffier pancakes is simply a thicker batter. Rather than pour it on the griddle, you sort of scoop it out and spread it around. The other trick is to cook it quickly over a higher heat to seal in the edges. Then flip them as soon as bubbles are forming.
