Sour Dough Pancakes from Mom Walker

Mom Walker wasn't a cook of note and she would tell you so! But once, when we went to visit, she made these delicious pancakes! She gave me some of her starter but we moved and it died en route :( Anyway, if you want something truly delicious, make your starter with pancakes in mind!

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

  1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, and salt.

  4. Using 2 tbsp of batter for each pancake,  cook on a hot griddle that's been lightly greased
