Sour Dough Starter...
This should take .4 days..This is a new cooking experiment for me.
Day 1...1/2 c. of whole wheat flour , 1/2 c. of rye flour
add 3/4 c. water. The consistency should be into a ball like texture, Cover with plastic wrap and let
it sit on the counter
Day 2...Add 1 Cup of bread flour and 1/2 c. water Mix well. Cover with plastic wrap. Let it sit on the counter
Day 3... Mix in a bowl 1c. bread flour and 1/2 c. water. Throw out half of existing dough, then add the remaining starter to new mix. Mix until blended.
Day 4...Repeat day 3. The mixture should be doubled, rising, and bubbly.
Starter is ready for your recipe. Keep feeding culture every 3 days, by tossing out half of the dough, and adding new flour/water... and every time you use it.
This will get better with age. Some bakeries in San Francisco claim to be using 100 year old starter...
More to come...

Strawberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Strawberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Growing up on the farm, the family had pancakes on the weekends. My mom would make them from scratch and sometimes even boil corn syrup and/or brown sugar with water to make pancake syrup.{That was when money was tight} Since then I have developed a version of the past. I use some whole wheat along with the white flour because I like the extra nutrition it provides. This is a basic recipe that can be modified by substituting any kind of fruit. Peaches, banana, or blueberries would all work well.
Basic Pancake
1 egg, beaten
2 T. butter, melted
1/4 c whole wheat flour
3/4 c. white flour
3/4 c. milk or buttermilk
1 T. sugar or truvia sweetener {3 Pkg.} www.truvia.com
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
Beat until smooth. Cut up 1/2 c of fresh strawberries into batter. Serve with a dollop of cream cheese, and Anderson's pure maple syrup .www.andersonsmaplesyrup.com
