Alaska Sourdough Pancakes



yeast + flour + water+ some patience=sourdough starter
Sourdough pancakes are a great treat!  Don't have a sourdough starter?? Don't feel bad, most people don't ;)  Here is a quick method for creating a sourdough starter, for almost  immediate use, compared with the traditional method, with similar results.  (It's also EASY.)

Ingredients:
1 pkg. dry yeast (or 1 Tbsp.)
2 cups flour
2 cups warm water (NOT hot)
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. melted butter

Directions:
Using a glass mixing bowl and a wooden spoon only (sourdough and metal do NOT get along), mix yeast, flour and warm water; beat well. Let stand in warm place overnight or for 8 hours. Add eggs, baking soda, salt and sugar. Beat well, then add melted butter. Bake on a hot griddle or in frying pan until lightly brown.
