[rec.food.recipes] OVO-LACTO: Sourdough Pancakes

bturner@hpcvlx.cv.hp.com (Bill Turner) (06/25/91)

Thought I'd just pop this one on the net, since I made 'em over the
weekend and had the recipe fresh in my mind.  That, and I do so like
sourdough cookin'.....

 From "The Complete Sourdough Cookbook" by Don & Myrtle Holm, Caxton
Press.

1 Cup flour
1 Cup sourdough starter
1 egg
2 Tbls oil
1/4 Cup instant or evaporated milk

Mix ingredients, and add:

1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbls sugar

Let sit for a few minutes to get bubbly.  Use as any other pancake
batter.

[I usually find I need to add a bit of liquid (water or milk) to the
batter, as my starter is usually quite thick.]

[Since it's so easy, I'm also gonna drop in the sourdough starter
recipe:

1 cup flour
1 cup warm water

Let sit uncovered or loosly covered (picks up "wild" yeast spores from
the air) in a warm area until bubbly (about 3-5 days).  You may also want
to add a bit of yeast to the mixture to get it going, especially if you
don't do much bread baking.  Replenish amount used by equal amounts of
flour and water.]
