yeast pancakes, say what!!!

ok, these are pancakes that, due to the yeast, you kinda gotta plan ahead a bit to make. that would explain why i haven't tried to make them until now. but let me tell you, once you go yeast, you just can't go back. luckily i had some "tod" left in the frig so that cut the process down a step or two. however, that was the last of the "tod" and since we've been getting bread every week in our csa, i haven't made time to deal with making more bread starter. but after tasting these pancakes, with their delicious dinner roll flavor and super light texture, it's off to make more "tod" i go.

yeast pancakes
(makes 8 small pancakes)

1/2 cup starter
1/2 tsp. dry yeast
1/3 tsp. salt
1/3 tsp. white sugar
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup warm water
1/2 cup flour
1/8 cup brown sugar
1 egg

mix white sugar, butter, salt and yeast into warm water till dissolved. add solution to the starter and mix in the egg. mix in flour and brown sugar.  set bowl, covered, on counter until everything get nice and bubbly alive. my batter took about 2 hours or so. then i stirred it a bit and let it rest for about 30 more minutes. proceed to make pancakes as you normally would. enjoy.

bubble, bubble, toil and trouble.

add some left over fried chicken, sauteed butter carrots, maple syrup, and you got dinner.
