Here's the recipe I use: (One of the easiest ways to keep your starter in good shape is to indulge your family with a hearty breakfast of tasty sourdough waffes or pancakes) 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup whole wheat or white (substitute buckwheat or other flour for either of these) 2 Tbs. sugar 2 cups buttermilk, watery yogurt or kefir or watered/milked-down sour cream 2 cups sourdough starter mix all the above (dry ingredients first, then add wet). Let this mixture stand at room temperature for at least 4 gours, but best overnight!) When you're ready to eat, beat together: 2 large eggs 1/4 cup (1/2 stick melted butter or oil 1 tsp. sea salt 1 tsp. baking soda Fold the egg mixture into the sourdoughbatter. Batter will begin to bubble and foam. Drop by spoonful, large or small, onto a moderatelt hot, lightly buttered griddle. Yields about 12 6-inch pancakes. This recipe is from the King Arthur Flour Baker's Catalogue Hi Lee,

We poured that into a bowl, added 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt, 1-2 tsp. sugar. Voila! Pancake batter. I've also made them since then and added more flour and more water -- basically just to increase the quantity. Add 1/2 c. flour per person you want to serve, and then add water or milk until you get the right consistency. Let me know how it goes!

However, while this website was SO interesting to read -- no recipe for referenced pancakes appeared! Please advise where I might find one. Thank you very much.
