Рецепт Sourdough Banana Pancakes
It seems like every other day I have a bunch of overripe bananas. This time, not only did I have overripe bananas, but I had some sourdough starter to use. Seriously, that stuff can get out of hand! It almost needs more care and feeding than my Chihuahua. Luckily, it didn't take long for me to figure out a way to put both the bananas and the sourdough starter to good use....Sourdough Banana Pancakes. Yup..I could make these every week. They are that good.
Sourdough Banana Pancakes
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 1 cup low fat buttermilk
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for the
- griddle
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Heat a griddle on medium-high. Whisk together flour, sugar,
- salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, add bananas,
- sourdough starter, buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla; whisk to combine. Add to flour mixture and stir with a wooden
- spoon until just combined. Batter should have small to medium lumps.
- Brush a little melted butter on the griddle. Pour the
- pancake batter by ¼ cups onto the griddle, keeping the pools of batter 2 inches
apart. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around edges,
about 2 ½ minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.
Have I mentioned how I came about my sourdough starter? Check out this box of goodies I won from Food Hunter's Guide to Cuisine. Notice the jar of sourdough starter? It's from the King Arthur Flour site and, apparently, has origins dating back 250 years! To make your own sourdough starter, you can visit the site and buy some of this stuff, or you can make your own. Here's a recipe I found on allrecipes.com: Sourdough Starter.
Remember to not over-mix the batter. No one likes a tough pancake.
The pancakes turned out awesome! Next time, I may add some fresh blueberries for an incredible banana/blueberry pancake, but, in the mean time, these were tasty with just some melted butter and some sugar-free syrup.
