In this video I use leftover sourdough starter as the base to create a savory pancake batter with various vegetables. The ingredients are listed below.
Watch the video for the methodology I use to make a cook these savory and spicy Asian-inspired sourdough pancakes, from my tiny home kitchen here in Gijon, Spain.
I started making sourdough bread about six months ago, and had the fun opportunity to teach a small breads class here in Gijon a few months after that.
Part of making sourdough bread or sourdough products involves creating your own sourdough starter. To make your own sourdough starter, simply mix equal parts of water and flour and let them sit out, covered with a loose-fitting lid. Remove 75% of the contents each day, and replace what you removed with more flour and water, in equal parts by weight. Wait two weeks, repeating this process every day, and you have yourself your very own batch of homemade sourdough starter, with microbes and yeast that come from your flour and your natural environment!
