Sourdough Pancakes

1 cup sourdough
2 cups wholemeal flour
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1 cup water
1 tbs sugar
2 tbs olive oil
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda dissolved in a little water

Mix the sourdough with 1 cup of the flour and leave to stand overnight. In the morning mix in the remaining flour together with the egg, salt, water, sugar and oil, and finally blend in the bicarb soda dissolved in a little water. Let the mixture stand for a few minutes until light and bubly. Cook the pancakes in a non-stick pan that has been brushed with a little butter and serve with butter and honey, or cream and apricot jam.

This produced a decent sized batch of very wholesome tasting pancakes. We ate them with butter, maple syrup and apricot jam (home made by Grandad B).

Next time I'll try adding the water as well as the cup of flour the night before because the dough was too stiff to be doing anything much. There was also a little taste of the bicarb soda, so I might reduce the quantity a little next time.
