Recipe Description

According to my teenagers, all the cool kids are making Sourdough Pancakes and so in true Lilly style, I had to get ahead of the game and of course this recipe. A simple pancake recipe adding sourdough starter, which if you haven’t heard, is the new health craze that helps boost the metabolism. I love mine with melted butter, syrup and berries, but a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar works just as good, too!
