If I may be permitted to butt in; here's what I use. My wife, who
doesn't normally like pancakes, does like these.

Summarized from:
http://www.innerlodge.com/Recipes/Br...s/pancakes.htm

Ingredient 1 person 2 People 4 People
Starter 1 Cup 2 Cups 4 Cups

Sugar 1 Tbsp. 2 Tbsp. 4 Tbsp.
Light Oil 2 Tbsp. 4 Tbsp. 7 Tbsp.
Egg 1 2 4
Salt ¼ tsp. ½ tsp. ¾ tsp.

Baking Soda ½ tsp. 1 tsp. 2 tsp.
Hot Water ½ Tbsp. 1 Tbsp. 2 Tbsp.
Note: Use double acting baking soda, which gives a second rise from
the heat when cooked.

This was cut from a Word document with a nicely displayed table for
one, two, and four people. I doesn't render well here - sorry.

Start with leftover/sourdough starter after refreshing the 'fridge
starter; allow about a cup of starter per person.

Start heating the oiled griddle(s) to medium high.

Put starter in one bowl that has room for growth, because the volume
will increase when the baking soda is added.

In a separate container, add the next 4 ingredients (sugar, egg, oil,
salt) and beat thoroughly (use a high-temp oil like sesame,
grape-seed, peanut, walnut, etc.) Whip it aggressively to develop
lots of small bubbles. Fold this gently into the starter trying not
to loose many of the bubbles.

WHEN READY TO COOK - AND NOT BEFORE, dissolve the soda in the hot
water, then quickly but gently fold it into the starter. The volume
should start increasing right away as the soda reacts with the lactic
acid in the starter in a gentle foaming action. After foaming for
about 30 seconds to a minute, start cooking. Pour into six to eight
inch rounds on the griddle. When the bubbles on top start to burst
and stay open, flip over just long enough to brown the bottoms (about
3 to 4 minutes total depending on the griddle heat.

Alternative Ideas:
(1) Combine 1 cup blueberries dusted with 2 tablespoons sugar; let
stand a few minutes. Gently fold blueberries into the batter just
before adding the baking soda mixture.
(2) Grate some tart apples into the batter before adding the baking
soda mixture.
(3) Thinly slice or mash banana into the batter before adding baking
soda mixture.

Yum, yum! ;-)
