: My husband wants to make sourdough pancakes and I need a recipe. Help.
Hi Julie:

This recipe was given to me years ago by Ruth Allman, a native Alaskan when I was still considered a Cheechako:

2 cups sourdough starter
2 T sugar
4 T oil
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 scant tsp. soda; full tsp if starter is real sour

Add sugar, egg and oil to starter. Mix well. Add soda just before batter is ready to go on hot griddle. Dilute soda in 1 T of warm water. Fold gently into sourdough. DO NOT BEAT. Notice deep hollow tone as sourdough fills with bubbles and doubles in bulk. Bake on hot griddle until seal brown. Serve on hot plates.

BLUEBERRY HOTCAKES

To basic sourdough recipe add:

1 cup blueberries dusted with 2 T sugar

Let stand a few minutes; fold gently into the batter just before adding the soda.

Hope this helps; this woman is great, she has a pile of Alaskan goodies.
