Notes

Variation Ideas
Banana and peanut butter: Add half a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter to the batter. This variation is especially popular with toddlers (from my experience).
High protein: Add an extra egg and 1 tablespoon of ground linseed for a higher protein variation.
Berries: In the summer, fresh berries would be a delicious addition to these sourdough pancakes.
Topping ideas
You can top your sourdough starter pancakes with real maple syrup, raw honey, simple berry syrup, whipped cream, jam, or even peanut butter. Peanut butter is lovely if you apply it onto the sourdough starter pancakes right out of the pan, which will cause it to melt a bit.
