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.
5
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a cast-iron griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and swirl to coat.
6
Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
7
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.
8
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
9
Drizzle with syrup and garnish with pecans, if desired.
