Sourdough Pancakes

I've been using this recipe for five minute sourdough, using my wild-captured starter. It makes some of the BEST pizza crust I've ever tasted, brushed down with a little olive oil and baked in a 425 oven. It also makes a brilliant monkey bread - grab bits of dough and roll them around in a gallon-sized ziplock filled with cinnamon and sugar, and intersperse the bits of dough with lots of butter and - for an awesome twist - strawberry jam. (I made some strawberry jalapeno jam a while back that was AWESOME in this)

Since the starter grows each time you feed it, finding things to do with the excess (beyond gifting it to friends - our starter, named Agnes, has offspring all over the city now) becomes a fun project. One of the easiest things to do is to give it a big old feeding just before bed the night before, so you'll have two cups of sourdough starter. Then make some truly remarkable pancakes in the morning.
