Buttermilk Sourdough Starter
(See PaddyL's recipe - I used 1/2 of the ingredients when I made my starter.)
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup flour
Place starter in bowl and stir in buttermilk until fairly smooth. Add flour and stir to mix. Cover and leave on countertop overnight.
1 cup raised starter (heaping)
1/2 cup dried milk
2 Tablespoons cooking oil
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
In the morning, place one cup of raised starter in large bowl. (Stir 1 cup buttermilk and 1 cup flour into remaining starter, let rise for several hours, and refrigerate for next use.)
Stir eggs, dry milk, and oil into the one cup of starter. Mix sugar, baking soda, and salt. Sprinkle over batter and fold in. Let set for a few minutes while you have another cup of coffee.
For waffles, stir and bake in hot waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
For pancakes, drop by spoonfuls onto medium hot skillet or griddle; turn when bubbles burst and cook until done.
Variations: Add blueberries or chopped bananas and walnuts to pancake batter for a delicious treat. For pecan waffles, sprinkle top of batter with chopped pecans before closing iron.
