Sourdough Starter 

To start sourdough You can make your own starter and sponge with this simple recipe:

2 cups flour

2 cups warm water

1 package dry yeast

In a quart-size bowl, dissolve yeast in ¼ cup warm water. Add the remaining water and flour and mix well. Place on a plate (to catch any overflow) and put in a warm place or cupboard for 6 to 8 hours. Set aside ½ cup of the bubbly starter (to store or feed and use again). The remaining 3½ cups of starter can be used for making pancakes, waffles, muffins, bread or cake immediately. Sourdough can also be started by trying to capture wild yeast. This method is not discussed in this publication

Sourdough Hotcakes

Sourdough hotcakes differ from other hot cakes because a sponge is leavened with the yeast from the sourdough starter and baking soda. The sponge must be set the night before it is to be used.

2 cups sponge (active sourdough)

1 egg

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

4 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder (optional)

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon water

In the evening, or 6 to 8 hours before using, set the sponge. When the sponge is bubbly and active, measure 2 cups for this recipe.

save remaining for starter. Add to the active sourdough sponge the egg, salt and sugar; beat with a fork to blend in all ingredients.

If you like, add nonfat dry milk powder (optional). Dissolve baking soda in water and stir the baking soda-water mixture into batter just before baking.
