CAST-IRON SOURDOUGH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix sourdough starter with flour and milk, then let it sit out at room temperature, covered with a cloth, overnight and up to 24 hours. Stir well, and transfer a scant cup of this mixture into a plastic container with lid or glass jar to store in the fridge, for another batch of pancakes.
• Whisk the eggs, baking soda, salt and sugar into the rest of the fermented flour and milk. The batter will loosen and take on the thick, airy liquid texture of a milkshake. If the batter seems a little too stiff, add a splash of milk.
• Preheat the oven to 450, with a cast-iron skillet inside the oven. (You can use a 4-inch pan for individual pancakes or an 8-inch pan for a larger pancake, which can be cut to share.) When the pan is hot, remove it, and swirl in 1 tablespoon butter until melted, then add a thin layer of fruit, so that you can still see some parts of the bottom of the pan. If using firm fruits like apples or pears, place the pan on medium heat on the stovetop, and let the fruit sizzle for a minute or two until it has softened on its edges, then add batter. If using softer fruits or berries, add the batter right away. Add enough batter to totally cover the fruit and make a substantial pancake about a half-inch in thickness.
• Return pan to oven for 15 minutes, or until the top of the pancake is evenly browned and the edges are crisp. Flip pancake onto a plate fruit-side up, and serve hot with another knob of butter on top and a generous glug of maple syrup. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• The night before, take a cup of sourdough starter out of the refrigerator or root cellar, and add flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, sugar, and water. Mix well, cover, and place in a warm place overnight. In the morning, remove a cup of the "sponge" and put it back in a jar in the refrigerator. (If you forget this step you won't have any more starter for another day).
• To the remainder, add eggs, oil, and milk. In a small bowl, mix together with a little water, salt, sugar, and baking soda. Stir into the batter and mix just until the ingredients are blended well. Let this sit for 10 minutes. Preheat griddle, grease with butter, and pour or ladle batter onto the griddle. Turn pancakes over as soon as the bubbles begin to pop. Flip over for just a few seconds, and remove pancake from grill to a heated plate. Continue until all the batter is used, then sit down and enjoy a real "Taste of Alaska!" Serve with real maple syrup, birch syrup, or butter and sugar.

YUKON SOURDOUGH FLAPJACKS (PANCAKES)

Steps:

• To proof your starter, feed it with equal amounts of flour and water (start with 1 cup of starter and at least 1 cup each of flour and water); cover and let sit overnight.
• Next morning, measure 2 cups of the proofed starter into a mixing bowl.
• Add egg, oil, sugar, and salt to the starter and mix briefly.
• Add enough flour to attain the desired consistency and mix until lump-free.
• Just before cooking the pancakes, dissolve baking soda in 1 Tbsp of warm water and gently blend into batter (See Note).
• Once baking soda is blended in, do not stir again.
• With a pitcher or ladle, pour 2 to 3-inch rounds on a hot (400 F) griddle.
• Cook 2 to 4 minutes, until bubbles form on surface.
• Turn and cook for an additional 2 minutes; serve hot.
• NOTE: If time permits, omit baking soda and stir 1 cup white flour and 1/2 cup of milk into batter.
• Proof, covered, for 1 hour at 85 degrees F, and then without stirring pour batter onto hot griddle--this will make pancakes extraordinary.

SOURDOUGH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Tip all the ingredients, except the butter, oil and maple syrup, into a bowl with a large pinch of salt, and whisk well until you have a thick, smooth batter. Whisk in the melted butter.
• Heat a splash of oil and a small knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan until sizzling. Pour or ladle the batter into the pan, making 7-8cm pancakes, with plenty of space between them (you should fit three pancakes in at a time). The batter should sizzle a little as it hits the pan, but not aggressively - adjust the heat if you need to. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side - they should take roughly 2 mins on each side. Eat straight away or keep warm in a low oven while you cook another batch. Serve with maple syrup.
