Sourdough pancakes

Liked this sourdough pancakes recipe. I found the pancakes fluffy and had good flavor with not too much of a sourdough taste. Also nice to not have to prepare a batter the previous night. I just used active starter and mixed in the morning. A cast iron pan with some melted butter gave a nice brown color and nice texture. The more butter the more fried taste the pancakes take on. After pouring the pancakes in the hot cast iron I added chocolate chips and ripe banana chunks to a few of the pancakes. The pancakes come out best if you cook one side fully and flip only once. Also I had some strawberry syrup and some maple syrup on hand and both were very nice additions.

Got the recipe from this website Taste of Lizzy T
