• Milk: 1 cup (240ml)
• Egg: 1

Preparation Method Steps:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sourdough starter, mashed bananas, milk, egg, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the sourdough starter to activate and give the pancakes a tangy flavor.
3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or pan over medium heat.
4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

• Don't overmix the batter, as this will make the pancakes tough.
• Cook the pancakes over medium heat to prevent burning.
