Description
One of my favorite uses of sourdough discard this recipe starts the night before and finishes in the morning.
Ingredients
3 oz. (62.5 g) sourdough starter (great use of discard)
3/4 cup (184 g) milk
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 cup (109 g) cake flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted plus extra for greasing pan
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, separated
Fresh California strawberries, 1/2 cup small dice plus 10 strawberries, sliced
Whipped Cream
Maple syrup
Powdered sugar
Instructions
- The night before, in a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk sourdough starter, milk, sugar and cake flour until blended. Cover and set aside on counter overnight.
- In the morning, stir in melted butter, salt, baking powder, vanilla and egg yolks.
- Whip egg whites to just stiff peaks. Using a rubber spatula, fold egg whites into batter.
- Brush the wells of an ebelskiver pan with butter and place over medium heat. When the bubbling of the butter subsides, spoon 1 tablespoon of batter into each well.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of diced strawberries into the center of each pancake. Top each with enough batter to fill the well. Cook the pancakes for 3 to 5 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
- Use two wooden chopsticks or skewers to turn pancakes. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more or until lightly brown.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients keeping cooked pancakes warm in a 200F oven.
- To serve, arrange warm pancakes on individual serving plates and top with sliced strawberries, whipped cream, maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
