Many of us during lockdown have been making bread. I have given friends starter doughs and have been enjoying the banter of their varying successes.
A friend, Josephine, had been making pancakes with hers. These have become a staple lockdown brunch in our house since.
I have used granary flour here, kidding myself on we are being healthy.
This will make loads of mixture, which keeps in the fridge but I’d defy anyone not to finish them all in one sitting.
Serves 6 +
Ingredients:
250g flour (can be any kind – I’ve used granary)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsps, bicarbonate soda
1tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
160g sourdough starter
370g milk
1 whole egg
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Method
In a mixing bowl or a food processor mix together all the dry ingredients followed by the wet ingredients. Once the mix has fully combined allow to stand
for 5-10 minutes.
Heat a frying pan with a small amount of oi. Through trial and error I have found it best to add a small amount of oil and wipe the excess with kitchen towel.
Pour in around 2-3 tbsp of mix. Allow the pancakes to bubble, then flip over. They will take around 1 minute to cook fully.
Serve with a generous helping of maple syrup. (Crispy bacon works a treat, too)
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
