BEST EVER FLUFFY SOURDOUGH PANCAKES

-

If you follow my blog on Facebook you know I have started my four sourdough starter once again.  I normally work with a potato flake starter and have had wonderful success with it but I like the versatility of a flour starter. 

 I know it has been a while since I have posted much on here.  Life kind of happens.  I was watching my grandson for my daughter then life happened and she lost her job during this pandemic.  I will not go there because everyone has their own thoughts on what is going on.  It probably is better for me to keep mine to myself.

 Click here to learn how to make your own starter.  I know most people do not have one just lying around.  It takes a few days to make one and believe it or not it does not take a rocket scientist to make your own starter.  

Last night I had fed my starter and thought let's make pancakes tomorrow for breakfast.  I have some flash-frozen blueberries leftover from last summer.  Blueberry pancakes.  YUMMY.  

This recipe I have played with to attempt to make it light and fluffy.  I think they are getting there now.  

 I love to use quail eggs in place of chicken eggs.  They are a bit richer and the flavor is better.  Plus the positive is I do not have to buy quail eggs.  However, it is not something you have to use.  A regular chicken is will do.

SOURDOUGH PANCAKES

 Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg beaten (I used 4 small quail eggs)
  • 2 tablespoons melted and cooled butter
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extracts

Directions
  • Mix the first 4 ingredients together with a whisk.  Add the liquid (rest of ingredients) to the dry mix and stir well.  
  • If you are using fruit add at the last and fold into batter. 
  • Cook on a hot skillet until brown.
  • Serve with your choice of toppings. 
FYI I make my own vanilla extract. Click here for the recipe.  Super easy and it is so much better than anything you can buy from the stores.


They are quite delicious and what a great way to use your discard sourdough starter.


Of course, I cooked some homemade bacon to go with the sourdough pancakes.

Take a good look at the inside of these pancakes.


ENJOY!!

 here is another discard recipe that I hope to have up soon.  Apple Cider Cinnamon Doughnuts.  

I also make wonderful focaccia with my discard sourdough starter.  



Hang tight.  I hope to have these recipes up soon.

TOMATO SOUP (CANNING RECIPE)

I made this a couple of weeks back and I am finally getting around to post about it.  I always say life gets in the way and it truly does.  I stay so busy that I sometimes have a hard time finding the time to sit down and write or type a blog post.  It is not that I do not want to, it really is hard to carve out a bit of time to sit down.  Now with all that said.... We are bracing for Hurricane Florence in my neck of the woods.  Thank goodness it has been downgraded to a Cat 2 but you just never know.  I am saying all of that to say it is always good to have some stuff canned.  Oh, I know you can go to the grocery store and buy just about anything but have you given any thought to what is in that tin can you buy?  Or that frozen entree?  Think hard about what you are putting into your body.  Just last night our friend Matt stopped by and he another friend, Dusty that when he runs out of food he is coming to my house.   I have never canned tomato soup.  I really have never thoug

COPY CAT ORTEGA TACO SAUCE

Tacos, everyone loves tacos.  I mean why else do we have Taco Tuesdays?  Well, that is exactly what we had last night for dinner.  Tacos!!!  After fixing them I realized I was out of this wonderful sauce.  I normally keep a few jars canned in the basement but I used the last jar a few weeks back.   Needless to say, I needed to make more since I had the tacos already cooking.  I am so glad it is very easy to make.  Quick and simple.  I will admit though it is better if you let it sit a few days I did but not have the time for that last night.  After all, it was Taco Tuesday in the Cristina's household. Gather your spices together.  Measure out each into a small mixing bowl. Mix it all together. Add tomato sauce and apple cider vinegar. Mix together. Here is a secret ingredient that I add to make it taste yummy.  Lemon pepper seasoning.  It takes the level up a bit and makes it taste so much more like Ortega.   COPY CAT ORTEGA TAC

HOW TO MAKE CRISPY PICKLED JALAPENOS

I have struggled to find a recipe to make pickled jalapenos that were nice and crisp.  My pickled jalapenos were mushy and could only be used as a spice, like in chili or some Mexican dish.  I wanted my pickled jalapenos to have a crunchy bite to them.  I wanted to feel the crisp when I bit into it.  Being frugal I could not just toss them out so of course I still used them.   The last few years I have found a way to make sure they are crunchy and nicely crisp.  I use 2 products, Pickling lime and pickle crisp.  Yeah, I double do it but it works!! My jalapenos came at a lark this year.  Our friend Wade gave us some pepper plants that he had started from seed.  I think he felt sorry for us because we did not have a good turnout with our own seedlings.  We thought we were getting scotch bonnet peppers but it turned out we got 4 jalapeno pepper plants instead.  There is a joke behind planting seeds, do not drink and label your seeds.  It is funny how things turn out becau
