- Once the skillet has preheated, add the butter and allow to bake until butter is melted, about 3 minutes.
- Carefully remove the pan from the oven and pour the batter over the melted butter. Lay the ham over the batter, sprinkle with the cheese and bacon. Immediately return the pan to the oven.
- Bake until golden brown, dramatically risen, and puffy, about 30 minutes.

Notes
*The consistency of your sourdough starter may make your batter thicker or thinner, so adjust by adding more or less milk to get a very thin pancake batter.
If you make this without the sourdough discard, use 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour.
