Sourdough Pancakes

I've been doing a lot of experimenting since my last post about the sourdough attack.

I've created 2 sourdough pancakes that taste pretty dang good. Both recipes are nice and fluffy.

Whole Wheat Sourdough Pancakes (make approx 11 medium pancakes)
1c sourdough starter
2 Tbs oil
1 egg (large)
2 Tbs maple syrup (you can use white or brown sugar instead, but I prefer maple syrup)
3/4 c wheat flour
1/4 tsp salt
approx 1/2c milk (you may need more depending on how thick the batter is--it should have the constancy of a pancake batter)
1 tsp baking soda

Combine all ingredients except the baking soda---after stirring the batter and making sure it isn't too thick let it stand for 15 min. After 15 min gently stir in the baking soda. The baking soda will make the batter rise. Once all ingredients have been added and stirred than place on hot griddle. To make the pancakes crisp on the outsides use a small amount of oil in the pan before each pancake.

Quick and Easy Sourdough Pancakes (make approx 11 medium pancakes)

2 Tb oil
1 egg
1 1/2c pancake mix (I used Aunt Jamima's Butter Milk Pancake Mix)
approx 1/2c milk (you may need more depending on how thick the batter is--it should have the constancy of a pancake batter)

Combine all ingredients and stir. Add milk if needed to get the right constancy. Let batter sit for about 15 min. After 15 min place on hot griddle. To make the pancakes crisp on the outsides use a small amount of oil in the pan before each pancake.To make the pancakes crisp on the outsides use a small amount of oil in the pan before each pancake.

You may wonder why the batter needs to sit for 15 min. The 15 min gives the sourdough time to work it's way through the recipe. If you don't let it sit for 15 min, it will not have the sourdough flavor that you're looking for.
