...when you wander around IKEA examining any container made from plastic or glass and assessing whether it would make a good container for a starter or not.
You also start to think of whether there's something you can do with that stuff you throw away everyday, when you feed the starter - and today Ronny whipped up some 'American' pancakes which were delicious, because they smelled a bit yeasty and had a slightly crispy surface, but were somewhat fluffy inside. I say 'American' pancakes because 'pancakes' in Europe are like crêpes, but maybe they're not American at all...and are Samurai Viking pancakes.
Ronny's Sourdough Pancakes
Ingredients
2 1/2 dl All Purpose Flour
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Sugar
2 1/2 dl Whole Milk
2 Tbsp Melted Butter
1 Medium Sized Egg
4 Tbsp Starter (from the stuff you were going to throw away at feeding time)
Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients inside a bowl.
Step 2: Melt the butter.
Step 3: Crack the egg into the dry ingredients. Add the milk and beat-it.
Step 4: Add 4 Tbsp of your starter and beat it some more.
That's all you need to do. Now cook it like regular pancakes.
The pancakes will have a faint yeasty smell to them, will be a bit fluffy inside and slightly cripsy on the outside. Enjoy!

i had no idea you could use a starter for making pancakes...
Wow, I never even think of making pancakes with sourdough. That is clever Murasaki, I mean your Ronny.
Cheers,

heartkorean: Ours is just to add flavor to the pancakes no more. We didn't let it rise. ;)
Elra: Not an orginal idea - but in the other recipes I think they actually left their mix overnight to let the yeast grow (and rise)!
What a great idea! I love pancakes.
This is unbelievably TRUE> The hot cake looks yummy.. my comfort food for sure.
Wow...so you made pancakes. Yum...I've yet to post my pancake recipe. Today I used the starter and made some Bauernbrot (German Dark Rye Bread). The loaves were tiny and hard looking so I thought I had 'failed' But when sliced they were great rustic bread....crispy on the outside and moist on the inside...very dense as is want to be! I am glad you are having success....and hey...shopping IKEA...who cares if it is only for a sourdough keeper eh? Grin. Love Ikea! Take care!
Katie: I love pancakes. Used to go to IHOP a lot as a student.
Girl Japan: Thankfully it's easier to get all the ingredients for making nice big fluffy American pancakes in Japan these days!
Trish: Will look forward to seeing your Bauernbrot. Sounds delicious!
You should check out a Southern Grace's site. She uses her sourdough for lots of cupcakes and such. She has named her starter Ebb. First finding a proper home, next you will be naming your starter. Ha funny, what a hoot!
You are a true sourdough lover! Great use of the toss-off.
