Can I use regular sourdough starter instead of Amish Friendship Bread Starter?

While you can use regular sourdough starter, keep in mind that the flavor profile will be different. Amish Friendship Bread Starter tends to be sweeter. You might want to adjust the sugar accordingly.

Can I make these pancakes gluten-free?

Yes! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure the blend contains xanthan gum for binding.

How do I know when the pancakes are ready to flip?

Look for bubbles forming on the surface of the pancake. Once the bubbles start to pop and the edges look set, they're ready to flip.

Can I add other ingredients to the batter?

Absolutely! Feel free to add ingredients like blueberries, chocolate chips, banana slices, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the Amish Friendship Bread Starter, egg, milk, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles form on the surface. Pancakes should be golden brown and cooked through.
