Sourdough Banana Pancakes


as inspired by Jack Johnson and a cowboy.


once you've revved up the starter, it's easy as pie and ready in a blink of an eye...




1 cup starter
1/2 cup bread flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 egg
1 TBSP sugar
1/2 TBSP baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

TECHNIQUE: Except for the starter and the egg, i eyed everything else. so i dunno if these can be perfectly replicated. but i'd just mix everything together and let it sit around for about 15 minutes so the baking soda can get everyone fired up. if you think your batter isn't thick enough, add more flour. if you've made it too thick, add some milk or water. Then, just follow the pictures. Heat up the pan or griddle...and dinner is ON the table. of course you can eat these for breakfast, too, but we had these for dinner. Pre-exam, these make pretty good brain-food. certainly healthier than monster brownies.

SUPPLEMENTS: chocolate chips, cinnamon, nutmeg (meebe even marshmellows!)
SUGGESTIONS: slather w/ peanut butter and douse liberally with maple syrup. ahhhh...utterly divine. and if you're a drinker, i think a strong cup of black coffee would do nicely as an accompaniment.
