How To Make a Sourdough Starter

If you’re new to sourdough, some starter recipes can seem really time consuming and confusing. Keep it simple with this sourdough starter post.

These pancakes have been in our Sunday morning routine for a couple of months now and I think they are here to stay.

Where is the flour?

The main question I have gotten from this recipe is where is the flour. With a sourdough starter, you don't need additional flour in this recipe. A starter is a combination of flour and water that has fermented to act as yeast, so you won't need yeast either! In 2020 there was actually a yeast shortage because people were baking at home! With a sourdough starter, you really won't have to worry about any yeast additions.
