Easy Sourdough Pancakes (No Milk)

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon oil
1 cup sourdough starter
Additional flour, if needed

Instructions:
Prepare Ingredients: Make sure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly. For instructions on how to make a sourdough starter, follow the link on your screen.

Mix Ingredients: Combine all the ingredients (sugar, salt, baking soda, eggs, oil, and sourdough starter) in a NutriBullet or blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If the batter is too thin, you can add a little flour to thicken it to your desired consistency. The batter should be pourable but not too runny.

Preheat Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface if necessary.

Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.

Caramel Chocolate and Butter Dip
Ingredients:
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the mixture to avoid burning the chocolate.

Stovetop Method (Alternative): If you prefer, you can melt the chocolate and butter on the stovetop. Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir constantly until melted and smooth.

Serve: Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into a small bowl and serve warm as a dip for your sourdough pancakes.

Tips:
Consistency: Adjust the batter consistency with additional flour if needed.
Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of salt or a dash of vanilla extract to the chocolate dip for enhanced flavor.
Storage: Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
