Special Precautions and Tips:

• Be sure to use active sourdough starter. If your starter is not active, it will not activate the baking soda and baking powder and your pancakes will not rise.
• Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough pancakes.
• If the batter is too thick, add more milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
• If the batter is too thin, add more flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
