Spelt Banana Sourdough Pancakes with Maple Butter and Cherry Vinegar Strawberry Compote

My sourdough starter is about 15 months old now. 

When I get the chance I like to make some sourdough pancakes, or waffles. 

This version was so delicious I had to share it.

It was a yeasted batter in that I included dry yeast as well as sourdough starter, along with spelt flour, salt, milk, mashed banana, egg and butter.

Its given a good mix then left to sit for 2-3 hours.

Meanwhile I mixed maple syrup and softened butter together, then put them in silicon moulds in the fridge. 

The strawberry compote was made with strawberries, sugar (I used organic coconut sugar), water, pepper and delicious Kangaroobie Cherry Vinegar.

Once the batter has puffed up, spoon into a medium heat buttered pan. 

Once they start to look 'dry' around the edges flip them.

I absolutely loved them. 

So much flavour in the slightly sweet banana pancake, with delicious melting maple butter and the most amazing strawberry concoction on top.
