Recipe: Sourdough Pancakes

Dear Julie,

This recipe is from a 1991 posting to EAT-L. I've never tried it, but it looks like it was posted by an 'expert' in the subject.

Happy Flipping,

Betsy

Years ago, I lost the starter (original from the Alaskan Klondikes) and
since then, have had to suffer with my own starter-mix. But it is a
good one, and one I used to use in my restaurant. Thought I'd pass it
on (and if anyone can modify it, please let us know!).

SOUR DOUGH PANCAKES
(from your own starter mix)

BASE (Starter):

2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups warm water

Mix, place in a large bowl, and cover. Let it rise overnight.

In the morning, take out 1 or 2 cups of the starter mix and refrigerate
in a jar container for later use.

Pancakes:

To the remaining mix, add -

1 egg
2 tablespoons of oil
1/4 cup canned milk (evaporated milk)

Sprinkle the egg, oil, milk mixture with -

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soda (or baking powder)
2 tablespoons of sugar

Rest the pancake mix for 15 or 20 minutes before using.
