Sourdough pancakes made with a portion of your sourdough starter that you would otherwise discard. These pancakes are light and fluffy with just a hint of sweetness. This is one of the most delicious ways to use your extra sourdough starter. Update: This recipe has buttermilk in the overnight sponge. Just like my grandma used to make them, and how I've always enjoyed them.While I personally continue to prepare them this way, I must note that leaving dairy out overnight goes against typical food safety recommendations. If that makes you uncomfortable, I have provided an alternative recipe in a downloadable PDF below the recipe card in the post.
