Submitted by smasty on January 29, 2010 - 8:13am Simple Sourdough Pumpkin PancakesI woke up this morning wanting to try making sourdough pancakes with my leftover starter. I looked up the KAF recipe that people mentioned here, and saw that it used an overnight sponge. I wanted to whip something out fast and simple, and spontaneous. So...no sponge for me! I love the result...light, fluffy (they rose quite a bit), healthy (well, the plate that is pictured is my husband's...mine was healthier). I had some pumpkin in the freezer that went into the mix. I don't have exact measurements because I was just tossing stuff in, but here goes: About 1/4 c. starter, cold from the fridge (just dump in a big glop) about 3/4c milk (made from dry) 1 egg about 1/2 t. baking soda 2 t sugar about 1/4 c pumpkin about 1/2 c whole wheat flour 1 packet stevia Mix it all up until you have a batter (make adjustments if it's too thin or thick)....This made 5 pretty big cakes.

Sounds really good.... love
Sounds really good.... love pumpkin and love sourdough :)
What percent hydration is your starter at? I keep mine at 100%... and Im still relatively new to keeping one so converting hydrations is still a bit over my head haha :)
Did you let it sit around or anything after mixing?
Also, any reason for baking soda instead of baking powder?
Starter Hydration
I keep my starter at 100% also. I used to keep two versions, one at 125% and one at 60%....I decided it's so easy to convert from one to the other, that I just keep it in the middle now.
I did not let it sit after mixing (so I figure the starter gave me more flavor than leavening), and I used baking soda because that's what the KAF recipe used. I think BP would work just as well, w/o the flavor that BS has. I think it's a pretty forgiving recipe to mess around with. Oh...I would add a little pumpkin pie spice next time I make it.
Sweet!
I like to make SD pancakes for breakfast, that's if I remember to make the sponge the night before. Now I can use this to make some quick and dirty SD pancake if I forget the sponge. Thank you for the idea! Al
one day pancakes
Nancy Silverton's Breads of the La Brea Bakery has one day sourdough pancakes. Basically 2 cups starter (Yes... a great way to get rid of extra starter every weekend... alternating with waffles), 2T syrup (honey, nectar), 3 T oil, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder.
Her waffles are the best I've had!
Hey they are pretty good!
I didn't feel like starting a sponge last night but this morning I wanted to make SD pancakes. So I got the starter out from the fridge and used it as is. Didn't use pumpkin, just more starter and a bit of oil to make a batch. It was pretty decent. My little guy and husband liked it. Thank you for the idea. Al
Good!
Glad it turned out good! I've never tried it w/ the sponge...I'll have to do that next time so I can compare.
