Sourdough Pancakes

This recipe make 4 to 6 very filling pancakes so it's enough for 2 people. You can save up your bits of sourdough starter or feed up a small amount with 100g each of flour and water - let it sit overnight and it will be ready in the morning for breakfast delight...Note that the consistency of your sourdough starter may be a different to mine (which is like pouring cream), so you will need to adjust the pancake batter accordingly by adding some extra liquid or flour.Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons powdered milk

Method:

  1. Heat your pancake maker or small frypan
  2. mix all the ingredients together and adjust the consistency with either the water or the flour until you have a thick batter
