Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together water, buttermilk, sourdough starter (or discard), egg, oil, sugar, yeast, and salt until combined.

Step 2

Add flour 1 cup at a time, whisking to incorporate with each addition before adding more. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth and cake-batter consistency.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rise at room temperature for 1 ½ to 2 hours or in a warm place (about 100°F) for 1 hour. When ready, the batter will have doubled in size and will look very bubbly and airy.

Step 4

In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a generous drizzle of oil (or enough to lightly coat the bottom). Once the oil is hot, spoon batter into the skillet. A trigger release ice cream scoop works well for quick and even portioning. Cook for about 1 to 1 ½ minutes per side or until golden brown at the edges. Add more oil as needed after flipping. If pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat.

Step 5

Once both sides are golden at the edges, transfer to a wire rack or a serving platter. Serve warm.

Chef’s notes

An active sourdough starter is a starter that has been fed and is at its peak of bubbling and rising action. Using an active starter is best because it has greater leavening strength. If using sourdough discard rather than active sourdough starter, the mixture may take longer to rise and double in volume. Rest assured, the pancakes will still turn out wonderfully if you choose to use discard.
