Notes
*1 You can toss in 1 cup of discarded starter if you have it (per batch). It is not necessary to make any other changes to the recipe.
*Expect there to be possibly be one sacrificial pancake in the beginning, while you get the temperature and consistency correct. If it seems too thin, add a little more flour. Too thick, water.
