Symbiotic Sourdough Pancakes

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, and milk or kefir until thoroughly mixed.

   Allow the mixture to sit on the counter, covered with a clean towel, for 8 hours, or preferably overnight.

4. 4

   Heat the olive or coconut oil in a skillet or griddle over medium heat.

   Let it bubble and foam a minute or two, then add the mashed banana.

   Pour 1/3 cup (80 ml) batter into the hot oil.
