I got up earlier than I would have liked to proof the sourdough starter for the Sourdough Silver Dollar Pancakes recipe. But I kept thinking to myself that it would be really nice to have some nice fresh pancakes for dinner.
Upon getting home and reading the rest of the recipe, I discovered that more water and flour needed to be added to the proofed starter, and that it needed to sit again overnight. So I am mournfully pancake-less tonight. If these pancakes were to be cooked tonight, I needed to proof the starter the evening of Jan 16th, mix the additional water and flour the morning of Jan 17th, then cook the pancakes the evening of Jan 17th.
I'm guessing that sourdough recipes, in general, need a 24 hour turnaround time to get into an edible state. And as much as I've enjoyed the sourdough recipes, it will be a relief to move onto other, quicker recipes.
