The Amazing Transformation of a Guy Who Didn’t Give Up!

Last week, my boy and I visited our dear friend Nikki in Brooklyn for a late-afternoon brunch. I brought along a huge jar of batter to make these! Filled her apartment up with smoke, but we all agreed the ends justified the means.

Sourdough Hotcakes

Adapted from Carl Griffith’s Oregon Trail Sourdough brochure.

1/2 c sourdough starter

1 1/4 c warm water or milk

1 c flour

2 eggs

1 T sugar

1/4 tsp salt

2 T melted butter or canola oil

1 tsp baking soda

Butter or oil for frying

Maple syrup, jam, or whatever you like to top them up.

The night before, mix starter with milk/water and 1/2 cup of the flour. Leave in a warm place. In the morning, add eggs, sugar, remaining flour, and butter/oil. Right before cooking, add the baking soda.

Heat a griddle or cast-iron pan (other pans do work if you don’t have one) on medium-high. When you flick a little water onto the surface, and it bounces, it’s ready. Slap on a pat of butter and spread it evenly around. Pour or ladle on small amounts of the batter. Be cautious—it’s thin, and spreads more than you might think! When bubbles appear all over the surface, flip the hotcake with a spatula and cook briefly on the other side. Keep the finished hotcakes on a plate in a warm oven until you’re ready to eat.

If you don’t use up all the batter, mix in some extra flour and 1/2 tsp baking soda, and you’ll have some nice little biscuits.
