Sour Dough Starter and Pancake Recipe

Starter
3 c. warm water
1 1/2 tbs. active yeast
2 tsp. sugar
3 c. all purpose flour

Combine first 3 ingredients, cover and let sit until foamy.
Add the flour and beat vigorously. Place in a glass 4 qt.
bowl, cover with a towel and place in warm spot. Such as
your oven near the light which will keep it warm. Leave
for 12 hours. It will be full of life and smell wonderful.

Pancakes
1 1/2 c. flour
3 tbs. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 large eggs, beaten light
1/4 c. melted butter or oil
1 c. starter
2/3 c. water (next time I'm trying milk)
1 tsp. vanilla (optional)
Beat well and start making pancakes. If batter is too
stiff, add liquid. I freeze my cakes with a slip of wax
paper between each one and then wrapped well in
freezer foil. Enjoy! We do.

REPLACE STARTER:
For every cup of starter used, add 1 c. of flour and 1 c. warm
water and whisk it in well. Place in fridge with light cover.
Make certain you have the starter in large non-reactive bowl,
ie, Pyrex with plenty room for expansion. You can keep
this going for years.
