YUKON SOURDOUGH FLAPJACKS (PANCAKES)

Steps:

• To proof your starter, feed it with equal amounts of flour and water (start with 1 cup of starter and at least 1 cup each of flour and water); cover and let sit overnight.
• Next morning, measure 2 cups of the proofed starter into a mixing bowl.
• Add egg, oil, sugar, and salt to the starter and mix briefly.
• Add enough flour to attain the desired consistency and mix until lump-free.
• Just before cooking the pancakes, dissolve baking soda in 1 Tbsp of warm water and gently blend into batter (See Note).
• Once baking soda is blended in, do not stir again.
• With a pitcher or ladle, pour 2 to 3-inch rounds on a hot (400 F) griddle.
• Cook 2 to 4 minutes, until bubbles form on surface.
• Turn and cook for an additional 2 minutes; serve hot.
• NOTE: If time permits, omit baking soda and stir 1 cup white flour and 1/2 cup of milk into batter.
• Proof, covered, for 1 hour at 85 degrees F, and then without stirring pour batter onto hot griddle--this will make pancakes extraordinary.

GOOD OLD FASHIONED PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
• Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter; mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat.
• Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
• Brown on both sides and serve hot.

SPECIAL PANCAKES (BATTER CAKES)

Steps:

• Using a serrated knife, trim the crusts off the bread & then cut the bread into 1/2 inch cubes.
• In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, flour, sugar and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk & eggs, then stir in the melted butter. Add to dry ingredients, stirring to blend.
• Let mixture stand for 5 minutes.
• Stir mixture well, breaking up some of the cubes.
• Heat large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat (I use 300-350° on my old electric griddle).
• Lightly brush the griddle with vegetable oil (I use a paper towel folded several times to spread the oil evenly onto the griddle.) Non-stick cooking spray can be substituted but I have found we prefer to use the light film of oil because it really adds to the outer color & texture of the pancake.
• Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle. Adjust the heat to medium-low and cook until the bottoms are lightly browned.
• With a large spatula, carefully flip the pancakes over to brown the other side. Repeat til all the batter is used up. Serve with syrups or jams of your choice.
