Lacy pancakes on sourdough starter
Description
Surely every homemaker knows how to bake pancakes, but few have tried making them with a starter. I recommend using wheat starter, although you can use rye starter if desired—the taste of the pancakes will only change slightly. It's best to cook pancakes on a thick-bottomed or cast-iron skillet without greasing it with oil. This way, the pancakes will cook evenly and turn golden brown. Serve these pancakes with honey, jam, preserves, sour cream, or various syrups—the choice is yours.
