Great.  From what I have been reading it is pretty hard to kill the starters.  If you think it is too thick, add more water.  I believe it is supposed to have the same consistency as a "thick pancake batter".

I mean ... if you add equal WEIGHT of rye flour and water, it's well beyond pancake batter in terms of thickness ...
 
Maybe The Waffler will post a pic of his starter up in this mother =) ...
 
Rye flour gives it a special sweet and sour twang you don't get with other flour imo. Mine smells almost like sour candy or ripe tropical fruit just starting to ferment. A good hooch build up now and then is good for flavor I think. I pour about half the hooch off and stir the rest back in. GM your stuff is on the really thick side, easier to work with if you thin it out a little more.

here you go playah- play on  :cheers:
Fermented waffles/pancakes-  have to start with a good sourdough starter so if you don't have one you need to make one for the recipe.
 
2 cups flour- I use 1.5 cups kaap and .5 cup sprouted whole wheat- but you can use all kaap
2 tbl sugar- I use real maple syrup
2 cups real good quality buttermilk
1.25 cups unfed sourdough starter
 
Combine ingredients and let sit overnight on the kitchen counter- it will start to bubble away like a mofo
 
in the morning add all of the "sponge" you made the night before to the following
 
2 large eggs at room temp
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla- you can leave this out if you like
1 tsp baking soda
 
makes waffles or pancakes, sourdough with the buttermilk gives them this awesome "twang" that I can;t really describe. you have to try it to know what im talking about I think.  if anyone makes them you won;t be disappointed
