Instructions

1. Step 1: Whisk 1/2 cup active sourdough starter with 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt in a large bowl until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep pancakes light.
2. Step 2: Fold 1/2 cup Alaskan wild blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed. Let rest for 10 minutes while heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat (350°F).
3. Step 3: Melt 2 tbsp butter in the skillet, then pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges set, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
4. Step 4: While pancakes cook, warm 3 tbsp maple syrup with 1 tbsp honey in a small saucepan over low heat for 2 minutes until smooth. Drizzle over pancakes immediately and serve hot.
