turns out it is necessary to add fat to the batter before panfrying. seasoning the metal isn't enough, and putting oil or lard in the pan doesn't give as good results. so I'm pouring some of the sourdough batter into a bowl, adding a pinch of baking soda and some lard, and pouring that out for pancakes. my coals have lasted overnight two nights now.
