I found the recipe for "Oh So Fluffy" pancakes, which this is based on, in Sourdough A to Z by Wardeh Harmon and Erin Vander. Many other sourdough recipes, instructions for starting and caring for a sourdough starter may be found on their website at Gnowfglins Traditional Cooking School. I started my starter using the DIY directions at Mike's Bread Shop. That page also has suggestions for purchasing or otherwise obtaining a ready-to-go starter.

- Mix together oil, egg, salt, sweetner (if using), and spices.
