Ingredients
1 cup sourdough starter
2 cups flour
2 cups milk
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda

Preparation
About 12 hour before meal time: Mix starter, flour, milk, and salt. Let stand in a bowl, covered with cheesecloth. Set in a warm place.
Just before making pancakes: Remove 1 cup batter to replenish starter.
To the remaining batter in the bowl, add baking soda, eggs, shortening, and sugar. Mix well.
Bake pancakes on a lightly greased hot griddle. For thinner cakes, add more milk in the batter.
