Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup whole milk; 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (1/2 packet); 1/2 cup apple cider; 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 1 large egg, slightly beaten; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 small tart green apple (such as; Granny Smith), unpeeled, diced; 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; Maple syrup or honey, for serving; Chopped pecans, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Make the sourdough starter: Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat to about 110 degrees F. Transfer to a medium bowl, sprinkle with the yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the cider, brown sugar, butter and 1 cup flour until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature overnight.
The next morning, make the pancakes: Whisk 1/2 cup flour, the egg, baking soda and apple into the sourdough starter. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a cast-iron griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and swirl to coat. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until the tops are bubbly and the edges set, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden and cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed. Drizzle with syrup and garnish with pecans, if desired.
