Sourdough Waffles and Pancakes

I got this from a recipe book I purchase while in Alaska.  I fell in LOVE with sourdough in Alaska!  I eat sourdough waffles and pancakes like a spaz!

Sourdough Pancakes and Waffles

2 Cups sourdough starter

4 TBS oil (I use safflower or coconut)

3 TBS sugar (I use coconut or raw sugar)

1/2 tsp salt (I use sea salt)

1 egg (I use 1 TBS ground sprouted flax seeds and 3 TBS warm water, you could just use ground flax seeds)

1 tsp baking soda (follow the instructions with the baking soda carefully)

Mix sourdough, oil, sugar, salt and egg (or flax and water) together.  Dissolve 1 tsp baking soda in a little water to activate and stir around.  Add the baking soda to other ingredients folding in carefully.  You will notice the chemical reaction that takes place as it makes the batter fizzle and bubble.  Do not over stir.  Pour mix onto hot griddle for pancakes or into hot and oiled waffle iron.  These pancakes take a little longer to cook all the way through.  Practice makes perfect.  Mmmmmmm!
