"You ain't lived 'till you ate these. One taste and you'll see why a 'sourdough prospector' would give up his gold claim before his sourdough starter."

Amazing! I have a young starter, so not so tangy yet, but wonderful texture. I have to say this is closer to the 8 servings, or 4 if you are a starving lumberjack who is a Sumo wrestler in the off season... I made about a dozen pancakes the size of dinner plates, so we wrapped and froze the leftovers for another time. Thanks for the great recipe! Served with boysenberry syrup and some sweetened sliced strawberries. Update: 12/2017 I've been making this for years now with a second batch of starter from several years ago, and it's even better now with an aged starter. I find that I don't need all the leavening, so I add it last a little at a time and keep an eye on how the dough reacts. If you add too much the dough collapses before you're done cooking them. -
I SO LOVE this recipe. I have just started using sourdough,{AGAIN},,, This recipe uses equal amounts of starter and flour. That makes a good SOUR dough. Higher flour ratios make a more watered down cake. THIS IS YUM. -
AWESOME! I don't think I've ever had pancakes brown up so perfectly! They are tasty, too! My half-batch made a dozen (12) pancakes. I'll definitely keep this recipe in mind as a great use for sourdough starter! -
Made your recipe #279951 #79951 to initiate my sourdough baking again, & this was the 1st recipe on which I tried it! Served these up with a bit of maple syrup & some raisin sauce I'd recently made ~ ABSOLUTELY GREAT TASTING PANCAKES! Easy to prepare, too!

I was owner/operator of SouthWest Outfitters, a mail order spice company that specialized in South West/Mexican spice mixes and recipes (prior to the internet, if you can remember that long ago). My passions are food, eating, cooking, food (did I say that already?), drinking and collecting recipies. Many of my recipies are from scratch origional classics, like the real margarita and authentic Cesar salad. We also raise and show Austrailan Shepards (we have 7).</p>
<p> Between cast parties (from the stage plays) and dog shows (which we host at our property) we often find ourselves cooking for dozens of folks. I hope you will find some of my favorite recipes useful and full of flavor.</p>
