Sourdough Pancakes
Many great memories begin on a chilly morning at camp with a big stack of sourdough pancakes. A favorite topping is qayusaaq( cranberry) or asiaviich( blueberry) sauce, made fresh from berries picked that season. Arlene Richards of Kiana shares her family sourdough pancake recipe passed down from her mother, Esther Curtis of Kiana. Her mother’ s sourdough starter recipe is from the 1983 Kotzebue Women’ s Snow Machine Association recipe book.
Sourdough Starter
1 ¼ c. unsifted flour 1 Tbsp. sugar 1 Tbsp. salt 1 pkg. yeast 1 ½ c. warm water
Combine flour, sugar, salt and dry yeast in a large glass bowl. Gradually add warm water to dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for four days. Stir down daily and recover. Bubbles should begin to form.
Sourdough Pancakes
2 c. sourdough starter 1 c. flour Pinch of salt 2 to 4 Tbsp. sugar ¼ c. milk 1 to 1 ½ tsp. baking soda mixed with water Vegetable oil for cooking
After four days, you should have your sourdough base. The night before you make pancakes, add 1 cup warm water and 1 ½ cup flour. Cover and set out overnight, the mixture should double in size. You will be taking from this mixture for your pancakes. Store extra starter in a closed container in the refrigerator for another time.
In medium glass size bowl, mix sugar, flour and salt. Add in sourdough starter, baking soda mixture and milk. Mix until no longer lumpy. For thicker pancakes, add more flour, for thinner, add more milk. The more bubbles that you have in the starter, the less baking soda you’ ll have to use.“ If your pancakes are pale, add more sugar!” Arlene suggests.
Heat up a lightly-greased griddle or cast-iron on medium heat. Pour sourdough pancake batter onto griddle. For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup of mixture. Cook pancakes 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from heat and serve with your favorite topping. •
