Sourdough Pancakes

30 minutes
20 pancakes

My wife has become an outstanding baker of bread in the Ken Forkish fashion using her sourdough starter. The copious amounts of discard also provide opportunities for treats like cinnamon rolls and these pancakes. Additional starter can replace a portion of flour and water at a ratio of 1 part flour to 1 part water.

all-purpose white flour
1 c
whole wheat flour
