Sourdough Pancakes
May 3rd, 2010 by Paul
One of the issues with keeping a sourdough starter is that you can in a very short period of time end up with a large amount of starter. Every time you feed it you double its size. Unless you take half away each time you end up with enough dough to fill a swimming pool in a few short weeks.
So every feeding you either throw out some starter, or you do something with it. A great use for Sourdough stater is Sourdough Pancakes. Pour on some good quality maple syrup and they make for an excellent breakfast.
Pancakes
1 cup sourdough starter
1 egg
1 Tbsp Vegetable oil
1 Tbsp ‘White Powder’.
In a large bowl mix the vegetable oil, egg, and “The White Powder”. Make certain that the powder is evenly mixed with no lumps. Add one cup of starter and beat vigorously for about than thirty seconds.
Cook pancakes on a cast iron griddle.
