Here's as close as we gonna get to Micky D's.  My hubby has been saying how he's craving McDonalds! How weird.  So here's what we had for breakfast today. Of course I made the sausage and bread ahead of time!So I just had to pull them out and cook. It was easy!

Ways to use your sourdough starter instead of tossing it!

I am having so much fun using my sourdough starter!  I bought mine starter at cultures for health but you can also make one, Heavenly Homemakers has a step by step tutorial for making your own. I am totally new to sourdough but have been doing some experimenting with good results! Some of the things I've tried so far are English Muffinswaffles and pancakes.  My list will keep growing so check back often to see what I've been making!

Sourdough Starter pancakes

 

Sourdough Starter Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh sourdough starter
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (rapadura, Sucanat, honey, maple syrup, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 3+ tablespoons milk, coconut milk, or water (see below)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (optional, makes the pancakes fluffier)

Mix together sourdough starter, egg, sugar, oil and baking soda.  Use the milk, coconut milk, or water to thin the batter to a pancake batter consistency. (How much you will need depends on the consistency of your sourdough starter.)

Heat a griddle to moderate heat.  Melt a slice of butter or coconut oil on the griddle. Once the griddle is hot, use 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until golden brown and flip. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
