Sourdough Pancakes & NAS

Yes, that's right -- NAS as in Network Attached Storage. I worked all day yesterday on a better backup solution for our network here at the ranch -- for the business and personal files. I finally got everything working around 12:30 am.

I need to switch to cloud computing!

Anyway, I'm up early and ready to mix up the batter for Sourdough Pancakes:

Sourdough Pancakes

2 cups sourdough starter, room temperature
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoons warm water

In a large bowl, add sourdough starter, sugar, egg, and olive oil; mix well.

Dilute 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1 tablespoon of warm water. Add baking soda to batter just before you are ready to cook the pancakes. Fold gently into the sourdough batter (do not beat). This will cause a gentle foaming and rising action. Let the mixture bubble and foam a minute or two.

Heat up a lightly greased griddle until fairly hot; then pour batter onto the griddle. For each pancake, pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve on hot plates.

You can mix some fruit into the batter if you like – blueberries, bananas (sliced thin or mashed), strawberries, etc. If the fruit is juicy you may have to add some flour to the batter to thicken it.
