Betty King Arthur Sourdough Pancakes were first created by Betty King Arthur, a home cook who loved to experiment with different recipes. She found that using sourdough starter gave her pancakes a unique flavor and texture that she couldn’t get with regular pancake batter.

Ingredients
1 cup sourdough starter
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for cooking
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, milk, eggs, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour, whisking until just combined.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease the pan with a little bit of vegetable oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking.
- If you don’t have sourdough starter, you can substitute 1 cup of buttermilk.
- You can also add your favorite toppings to your pancakes, such as fruit, syrup, or whipped cream.
