Sourdough Pancakes

Ingredients

1 cup sourdough starter (room temperature)

1 T granulated sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon warm water

Directions

In a large bowl, add sourdough starter, sugar, egg, olive oil, and salt; mix well; set aside. 

In a small bowl, dilute 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1 tablespoon of warm water; set aside until ready to bake your pancakes. Note: don't add the baking soda/water mixture to the pancake batter until right before you are ready to cook them. Once your pan or griddle is hot, you can mix it in quickly just before you cook them.

When ready to cook your sourdough pancakes, fold the baking soda/water mixture gently into the prepared pancake batter. Let the mixture bubble and foam a minute or two before using.

Heat up a lightly-greased griddle until medium/hot and pour the sourdough pancake batter onto the griddle.  For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup sourdough pancake batter onto hot griddle.
