2 c. sourdough starter
2 tbsp. sugar
4 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 scant tsp. baking soda (more if needed. Soda will sweeten a very sour starter)

Place starter in nonmetal bowl. Add sugar, egg and oil. Mix well. Just before you start cooking the cakes mix the soda with 1 tablespoon warm water. Fold gently into sourdough. DO NOT BEAT. Bake on hot griddle and serve on warm plates.

Can sprinkle a few berries of choice over each cake on griddle, then turn and finish cooking. See Starter recipe this section.
