These turned out really well. I used my regular Sourdough Starter and just added about a fourth cup more sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla. (love vanilla) Definetly beats the pancake mix!

Amazing! I make as many as possible at once, because, even though they are really filling, the leftovers still taste about as good as the originals! I like to eat them warm with peanut butter, and my 16 month old son loves them too!!

These are really good. Good way to use starter if you are not planning on making bread. I used another starter not Herman's starter. Used just 1 TBSP of oil, 1/3 cup of sweetened applesauce, omitted sugar and added 1 tsp of vanilla extract. For the flour, used 1/2 cup of oat flour and 1/2 cup of wheat flour. Very good pancakes.

This is THE BEST pancake I've ever had! I followed the recipe exactly, except I used the sourdough starter I already had. I made my starter about two years ago from the concord grapes growing in my yard. That was the only thing that I changed in this recipe. Thanks for this DELICIOUS recipe!!! :o)

This is a keeper. These puffed up nice. I added a grated gala apple, and 1 tsp Cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla. Although I used 1 cup Sourdough Starter, without sugar. Amish Starter is the new Herman Starter. And I think Herman changed it's name LOL. Good Recipe that is for sure.

These turned out wonderfully well. I'm personally not a fan of pancakes, but my children love them. I had 3 cups of Herman to use up, so I figured I'd make a giant batch. After the first pancake was done, I tried it, just to sample the flavor. i was impressed. I won't be buying pancakes miz anymore!

Yummy! I did add some vanilla extract like another reviewer suggested. My husband and I loved these pancakes. I had to stake my claim or he would have eaten them all. Next time I plan to add something extra like chocolate chips or blueberries for variation.

Holy these are good. I have been searching for the perfect pancake recipe for forever and just happened to stumble upon this one by accident. I was simply looking for a new way to use my sourdough starter other than make sourdough bread and decided to try these. The texture is wonderful and the sourdough adds a nice subtle zip.

These were good, used my Herman starter.. I got too much sourdough flavor for my taste. But was a good, fluffy pancake... probably would try again.

Used my Amish Friendship Bread starter for this recipe. The pancakes had a wonderfully light and fluffy consistency. The flavor was nice but next time I will try adding a teaspoon of vanilla as others recommended.

I used regular sourdough starter, along with whole wheat flour and honey. This resulted in great tasting fluffy pancakes!

These were good, nice and fluffy. The only changes I made were that I used my regular starter, used 1/2 whole wheat flour, and added some pecans and walnuts because I was feeling a little nutty. So they turned out good and I had them with the "absolute best pancake syrup" from here.

These pancakes are really good! They do have the sourdough taste, but not overpowering. I didn't use the herman starter, but another from this site that I had made. I think maybe next time I may try adding some vanill extract for a little more flavor, but overall a great recipe! The family loved them. Thanks for sharing!
