One of the things about sourdough baking is that maintaining your starter is akin to having another dependent. Only you don't have to change its diaper and send it to college. Nevertheless, once a week you have to feed it - a process of discarding half and replenishing it with equal amounts of high-protein flour and water. Back in the fridge it goes.
On Saturday morning I divided and fed my starter.
I reserved the half I would have discarded or redirected to baking bread and used it to ferment and overnight sponge for pancakes on Sunday morning.
It is an easy recipe resulting a very good pancake.
If you follow the recipe below cut everything in half which is plenty for a hearty breakfast for two adults. I used-up the last of some blueberries and buttermilk we had and served it up with Irish butter and local maple syrup.
If I was making this for guests I'd make a full recipe, amp-up the blueberries and fry-up some breakfast sausages from the local butcher.
This Lactobacillus fermentation is working rather well.
