700 SOURDOUGH PANCAKE & WAFFLE RECIPES

701------------------------------------------------------------------------701
# From "Douglas Reindl" <doug%[email protected]>
# who graduated and isn't at that address anymore.

Here is a sourdough pancake recipe. If you
like pancakes, you will love sourdough pancakes.
I like them the best with real maple syrup
(my brother makes the syrup).

Doug's Pancakes

Goodies:

2 1/4 Cups of your favorite proofed sourdough
1 1/2 Cups of flour
1 Tbsp of sugar
1 pinch of salt
1/2 Tsp of baking soda
1 Tbsp of baking powder
3/4 Cup of milk
3 Large eggs
1/4 Cup of melted butter

Then:

1.) Mix the eggs and milk together thoroughly

2.) Then combine with the dry ingredients

3.) Slowly mix in the butter.

4.) Cook pancakes over a med to med-hi fire

5.) For thicker pancakes decrease milk and increase flour
For thinner pancakes increase milk and decrease flour
(it doesn't take much so be careful)

Sourdough Waffles

(An adaptation of Doug Reindl's pancake recipe.)

2 1/4 Cups of your favorite proofed sourdough
2 Cups of flour
1 Tbsp of sugar
1 pinch of salt
1/2 Tsp of baking soda
1 Tbsp of baking powder
3/4 Cup of milk
3 Large eggs
1/2-3/4 Cup of melted butter

Then:

1.) Mix the eggs and milk together thoroughly

2.) Then combine with the dry ingredients

3.) Slowly mix in the butter.

4.) Laddle onto waffle iron and cook. Watch carefully.
My sense of smell is the biggest indicator that
they are done. I can start to smell the oil burn
slightly. Then I flip the iron or open it and
remove the waffles.

For a fancier waffle use 4 eggs and separate the yolk from
the whites. If you do not have a copper bowl to whip them
in then add about 1/4 t cream of tartar.

1a.) Mix milk with dry ingredients

2a.) Slowly mix in the butter.

3a.) Whip the eggs until they will hold a peak and then
gently fold the egg white mixture into the batter.

4a.) Procede with step 4 above.

Subject: Recipes from the Sourdough Jack cookbook

Note: Sourdough Jack was a place that one could order sourdough
starters from. My copy of the recipe book dates from 1969 (actually
this is my husbands. It's all his fault. :-) ). Anyone in San Francisco
care to find out if Sourdough Jack or Sourdough Jack's Country Kitchen
is still around?

To one cup of starter add two cups of water, and two 1/2 cups of flour.
Let sit for 8-12 hours, depending on how warm your kitchen is and how
active your culture is.

Pancakes

After proofing, remove one cup starter and return it to your sourdough
pot. To the remaining sourdough add
1 egg
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/4 c instant dry milk or evaporated milk

Beat thoroughly. Combine in a separate cup:
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar

Blend together until smooth. Sprinkle evenly over the dough and gently
fold the dry ingredients into the dough. Heat up a griddle until fairly
hot then pour batter by the tablespoon on the griddle. The pancakes
should cook quickly.

Variations

Apple Pancakes-grate some tart apples into the batter then cook.
Banana Pancakes-thinly slice or mash banana into the batter then cook.
Crepes- add 1/2 stick butter melted and tablespoon of cognac.

Personal note...I have also used this basic batter thinned down just a
little to make Ethopian type cakes. Serve with several sorts of curry
(all items in the curries should be finely chopped.) To eat, tear off a
piece of sourdough, use that to pick up the curry of your choice and
eat. A fun way to eat your meal, if slightly messy! This idea came to
me because of going to an Ethopian restaurant and realising that the
texture of the bread/pancakes was very much like my sourdough.

Sourdough Pancakes (Uebele family recipe)

At Night in large glass or pottery bowl mix -

1 cup starter
2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups milk
Cover and place in warm spot. (oven with pilot/light on, door open)

In the morning remove 1 cup of dough as the new starter. Store covered
jar of starter in the refrigerator until ready to use again.
Beat together -

2 eggs
2 Tablespoons cooking oil

Add to dough and beat thoroughly.
Combine -

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 Tablespoons sugar

Blend together the salt, soda, and sugar until smooth, eliminating any lumps
of soda. Sprinkle evenly over top of batter; fold in gently. This will cause
a gentle foaming, rising action. Using a Tablespoon of batter per
pancake, bake on a hot griddle (should hear hiss when batter hits griddle).
The pancakes bake better when only a small amount of batter is used.
For waffles, use more cooking oil.

Temperature is the main variable which affects the consistency and sourness
of the batter. A warmer temperature at night will cause the batter to
have more tang and to be thinner by morning. Also more liquid can be added
for thinner pancakes. The cookbook says that the starter should always
be proportional to the amount of flour and milk. However, I have found that
you can almost double the amount or flour and milk without neding
to increase the amount of starter or soda. Experiment to suit your own taste.

The starter is better if it is used at lease onece every two weeks, but
it will keep indefinitely. Each time I use the starter, I return it to a
clean jar, but I never wash the old jar until I have remembered to save
a new starter. Once the eggs and other ingredients are added, the dough can
not be used as a starter.

[Alaskan Blueberry Pancakes].

Made on the Alagnak River at our fishing lodge for many years 300
miles SE of Anchorage and ravished by many fishermen and stranded
weathered in guests. I got so tired of writing down this recipe, I
made copies when I went to Anchorage for supplies.

1 cup sour dough starter (I made mine from potato water)
2 cups flour
2 cups milk (I used powdered never had fresh available, but fresh ok)
1 tsp salt

mix above in crock or bowl (not stainless steel) cover with kitchen
towel or cheescloth, let stand overnight. In AM when nice and bubbly
add:

2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
3-4 tablespoons melted shortening or butter
2 tsp sugar
fresh blueberries (if your lucky enough to have them growing around
you)

Pour large silver dollar size batter on hot griddle, cook and turn.
Serve with lots of syrup and butter and river coffee. These also
went great in backpacks for endurance on the trail. The stronger the
starter the stronger the pancake.

Ambrosia Batter

The name of this concoction is taken from the food of the
gods often referred to in Greek mythology. The title is
appropriate considering the various delectable things that can be
made with it. No doubt when you mix up your first batch of
sourdough griddlecakes or biscuits, you'll agree. Here's how you
make it:

1 cup starter
1 cup water 1 1/2 cups white all-purpose flour

Mix the above ingredients in a 2-quart bowl, cover and
set aside for 24 hours in a place where the temperature
ranges between 75 and 80. Remember to use only a bowl
made of glass or crockery, not metal. Also make sure
that your bowl is large enough to allow the mixture to
double in volume without spilling over the side.
Ambrosia Batter is burdensome to clean up, especially
after it has dried.

Replenish the starter with 1 cup flour and 3/4 cup of warm
water.

The American Slapjack

This country really did not have a homegrown cookbook until
1796 when Amelia Simmons had her modest work of 47 pages published.
Under the title American Cookery, it was first in offering guidance
to the use of such indigenous foods as corn and potatoes. This
humble compilation was likewise the first to make mention of
America's own pancake, the Slapjack. The recipe given here
faithfully reproduces this favorite of early American fare.

Unlike some griddlecake recipes, the American Slapjack
contains no chemical leaveners of any kind. Although they are not
bad in themselves, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda do lessen
slightly the flavor produced by the long maturing period of
Ambrosia Batter. American Slapjacks have the wonderful flavor of
an unrepressed, newly-fermented wild yeast. This is the pancake
for those who want the full rich flavor of sourdough in all its
glory and savor.

American Slapjacks require more time than most sourdough
hotcakes. In the early days this presented no problem because the
lady of the house was usually up well before the rest of the
family. Today, with our faster pace of living, these griddlecakes
might present difficulty if it's a quick breakfast you want. Try
making them on a Saturday or Sunday morning when you are not
rushed. Once the Ambrosia Batter has aged for 24 hours, American
Slapjacks require about an hour to re-ferment after they are mixed.

1 recipe Ambrosia Batter 1/4 cup honey
1 egg 1/2 cup milk
2 Tablespoons melted butter 1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix the egg, milk, honey, butter and salt in a two-quart bowl. Add
the Ambrosia Batter and beat rapidly for about one minute to mix
and aerate the batter. Cover and set aside in a very warm place
(85 to 110) for 45 to 90 minutes. This will cause the batter to
ferment again and become light and bubbly. After the
refermentation period, move the batter very carefully to the
griddle so as to avoid knocking out any of the leavening gas.
Ladle carefully and fry on a lightly greased griddle. Makes about
40 dollar-sized hotcakes, enough for 3 or 4.

The secret of successfully bringing this recipe to flavorsome
perfection is finding a spot warm enough to re-ferment the batter
rapidly. Provided that it is not above 120, an oven on a setting
of WARM is the ideal place. Remember to ladle the batter with
great care once it has become foamy. The presence of the gas
bubbles is what makes the pancakes light. When directions are
followed carefully, American Slapjacks are the lightest of all the
sourdough griddlecakes and have the best sourdough flavor.

Someone recently asked about sourdough cookbooks and asked for a waffle
recipe. I LOVE
this cookbook:

Alaska Sourdough
Ruth Allman
ISBN 0-88240-085-1 (pbk)
Available from Alaska Northwest Publishing Co., Box 4-EEE, Anchorage, AK
99509

Here is the waffle recipe from that cookbook. It's exactly the same for
pancakes.

2 C starter (consistency of thick glue)
2 Tbsp sugar
4 Tbsp oil
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt

Mix these well with wooden spoon. At this point, add blueberries, if you
want. In a shot glass, mix a scant tsp of baking soda with a small amount
of water. Then fold into the batter. Cook
immediately.

(I always "recharge" my sourdough with a little flour the night before I'm
going to make
pancakes/waffles.)

Enjoy!

----This is an old-time flapjack recipe which was often cooked in a cast
iron skillet over an open fire, and makes thin Swedish type cakes with
a delicious nutty flavor and aroma. It uses a wheat flour starter, or
part wheat flour (wheat flour can be added to any flapjack recipe for
good results).

Make a good flapjack batter the night before, using a cup of starter,
a couple of cups of flour, and warm water, and set in a warm place until
morning. In the morning simply stir up the batter a little (not too
much!) while the griddle is heating, adding:

1/4 cup dry skim milk 1/3 cup melted shortening
2 tsps. salt 2 eggs, beaten
2 tsps. sugar 1 tsp. baking soda
dissolved in warm water
and added just before spooning
the batter.

Aunt Cora's Flapjacks

1 egg, beaten 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup sweet milk 1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup sourdough starter 3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup sifted flour (scant) 2 tsps. sugar

Beat egg, add milk and starter. Sift flour and dry ingredients.
Combine the two mixes. Bake on greased griddle. However, don't
combine the two mixes until everything else is ready to serve.
These hotcakes rise quickly and the batter falls if kept waiting.

BD> Use only about 1 or 2 TBS batter per cake. These cakes have a very
good sourdough taste, and are easy to make (no over night batter).

Miss Mary Rogers of Mexico, Missouri Biscuits

1/2 cup starter 1 tbsp. sugar
1 cup milk 3/4 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cups flour 2 tsps. baking powder
1/3 cup shortening 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar

At bedtime make a batter of the half-cup starter, cup of milk, and
1 cup of the flour. Let set overnight if biscuits are wanted for
breakfast. If wanted for noon, the batter may be mixed early in
the morning and set in a warm place to rise. However, unless the
weather is real warm, it is always all right to let it ferment
overnight. It will get very light and bubbly. When ready to mix
the biscuits, sift together the remaining cup and a half of flour
and all other dry ingredients, except the baking soda. Work in
shortening with fingers or a fork. Add the sponge, to which the soda,
dissolved in a little warm water, has been added. Mix to a soft dough.
Knead lightly a few times to get in shape. Roll out to about 1/2-inch
thickness or a little more, and cut with a biscuit cutter. Place close
together in a well-greased 9x13 inch pan, turning to grease tops. Cover
and set in a warm place to rise for about 45 minutes. Bake in a 375 oven
for 30 to 35 minutes.

BD> I guarantee that these are the best biscuits that you have ever had.
Everybody who has tried these has liked them very much. :^)

From: Life is real? <[email protected]>

"[email protected]" is my brother Brad (Hi Brad!), who
shared the MMRMM (for short) biscuit recipe with me awhile back, and I
I can only concur that these biscuits are the best I've ever eaten. My
only adjustment to the recipe is that I roll the dough a little
thicker than him, closer to an inch thick, then I just use my
dough blade to cut out a bunch of square biscuits (press...don't saw!).
I make them about 2" square and they turn out very professionally...just
like you get at the best breakfast restaurants. Remember, use plenty
of flour all over the place...to give them that "home cooked" look, and
to give you something to do while they are baking, i.e. clean up the
mess!

I also guarantee these to be the best biscuits you've ever eaten...if
you don't like them...my wife will eat worms! (Reminicent of one of
the early "Joe Isuzu" commercials...haha).

The following recipe makes delicious sourdough biscuits, preferred at
our house over the buttermilk variety.

S O U R D O U G H B I S C U I T S

2 c. flour 1/2 t. salt
1 T. sugar 1/2 c. margarine
2 t. baking powder 1 - 2 c. starter

Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut in the margarine as you
would for regular biscuits. Stir in one cup of the starter, adding
more as you need to get a ball of dough. Turn onto a lightly floured
board or cloth, and knead very lightly. Roll dough one-half inch
thick, and cut into small rounds. Place them on a cookie sheet, and
bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for about 12 minutes.

Yield: 10 - 12 biscuits

COMMENTS: Part of the flour can be whole-wheat. Butter can be
substituted for the margarine, and I have successfully made them
using 1/4 cup of margarine and 1/4 cup of peanut oil. I always make
these without the salt.

Sourdough biscuits (from 1988 Sunset Recipe Annual)
1 cup sourdough starter
1/2 warm water (90 degrees)
About 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg white, lightly beaten

In a bowl, mix starter, water, and 1 cup flour. For sourest flavor, cover
and let stand in a warm place until bubbly and sour smelling, 12 to 24 hours.
To speed, omit standing; proceed. Stir in oil.

Crush 1/2 teaspoon of the fennel seed. In a bowl, stir crushed fennel,
baking powder, salt baking soda, and 1 3/4 cups more flour. Add starter
mixture; stir until dough cleans side of bowl.

Turn dough out on lightly floured board and kneed for about 30 seconds;
add flour if required to prevent sticking. Flour board, then roll out
dough into a 6 by 14 inch rectangle.

Brush dough with egg white; sprinkle with reserved seed. Cut into 2 by 3 inch
rectangles. Place biscuits about 1/2 inch apart on 12 by 15 inch baking sheet.

Bake in 450 degree oven until deep golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to
rack and serve warm or cool. Makes 14 biscuits.
Paige Langdon, Redwood City, CA

Dave's notes and comments:
My starter uses milk instead of water. Probably closer to 3/4 cups
milk instead of 1/2 cup water.
I did not have fennel, so I used approx 1 teaspoon of sugar instead.
I also omitted the egg white treatment. Either bake as is or brush with
butter.
To make flakier biscuits, use half olive oil and half butter or shortening.
Cut shortening into dry ingedients before adding starter/oil.
Roll out, fold in thirds, roll out, fold in thirds again to put
shortening in layers. I usually don't try to precisely measure
starter, so you may need to adjust flour or milk accordingly.

I've done several other variations with this recipe.
I've added beer instead of milk when additional moisture is needed (which
seems to be the norm when I do this recipe).
I've also made "pure" sourdough biscuits, by ommiting the baking powder and
baking soda and cutting the salt down.

Sourdough Sopapillas

My wife eats them with butter; I tear off a corner and fill them with butter
and honey.

1 cup Sourdough starter
1 cup Flour
3/4 tsp Salt
1-1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2 Tbs Shortening
Cooking oil for frying

Measure starter into a large bowl. Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in
shortening until mixture resembles conrmeal. Add starter mixture to dru
ingredients. Stir quickly with a fork to moisten dry ingredients. Turn out
onto lightly floured surfacce and knead until smooth, adding small amounts of
flour as needed. Cover with clean cloth and let dough rest for five minutes.

Roll out dough into a 12"x15" rectangle about 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Cut into
three-inch squares or triangles.

Drop a few pieces at a time into deep, hot cooking oil at 400F (205C). Fry
about two minutes on each side or until golden brown. Sopapillas will puff up
like pillows. Drain on paper towels.

SERVE WARM with honey and powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar. Also
good with
chile verde (or chili colorado, I suppose). When serving with honey, one of
those "bear dispensers" with a spout works well.

Normally feeds 3-4 people; my wife and I will devour them all at a sitting.

It became apparent after some discussion in the group that
the word "scone" was used quite differently in Utah than
in other places. There it is a deep fried bread dough,
elsewhere it appears to be a (griddle fried?) biscuit.

So how's this as a recipe for:

SOURDOUGH UTAH SCONES

Next time you make white bread, like with the "world bread"
recipe, save some of the dough out. Tear off little pieces
and either flaten them out or roll and cut shapes or roll
into little balls, or shape them like animals, let them
rise for a little while and them drop them a few at a time
in the hot oil like you would for fritters. Drain them on
a paper towl and serve either by rolling in powdered sugar
or by spreading butter and honey. (I like them plain
with no sugar, butter, or honey.)

Reply to: RE>fried bread dough

I know a restaurant that shapes the dough to look like breadsticks - when its
golden brown, quickly removes it from the oil and rolls it in a combination of
granualted garlic and parmesean cheese - delicious

Here's the recipe for blueberry muffins from the
Jake O'Shaughnessey's Sourdough Book.

[shameless cut and paste follows]

Blueberry Muffins

Sourdough makes incomparable blueberry muffins. You can also
make this recipe without the blueberries if you wish. With or without
them, serve these muffins with lots of butter and jam. They are
perfect for breakfast.

1 recipe altered Ambrosia Batter
Use 1 cup starter, 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup water,
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ.
3/4 cup blueberries, well drained if canned
1 egg, slightly beaten 1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup whole wheat flour 2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup powdered milk 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter

Mix the egg with the Ambrosia Batter. Separately, combine all the
dry ingredients and then cut in the butter. Add the Ambrosia
Batter and stir only enough to wet the ingredients. The batter
should have a lumpy, rough-textured appearance. Very gently mix in
the blueberries. Pour the completed batter into buttered and
floured muffin tin, filling each cup 3/4 full. Place muffin tin in
an over which has been preheated at a setting of "warm." Allow the
muffins to rise for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and reset it
to 400 degrees. When the oven is hot, bake the muffins for 25 to
30 minutes.

These are very good. I wouldn't have thought blueberries and
sourdough would go together but they do!

Here are some recipes I picked up from a short chapter on sourdough
in a Dutch oven cook book I picked up at the scout trading post
at camp. "Dutch Oven Cooking", 2nd ed. John G. Ragsdale, Lone
Star Books, Houston, Texas, 1973. ISBN 0-88415-224-3. Note, this
is not the same Dutch oven book I usually quote from, which book
has the same title.

Miners' Muffins

1 C sourdough culture 1 egg
2 C flour 2 T oil
2 C milk 1 t baking powder
1/2 C sugar 1/2 t salt

Mix all ingredients. Cook in muffin tins or cupcake holders.
30 min.

(The book is scarce on temperatures. I suppose the assumption
is that the Dutch oven cook goes by feel and experience any way.)

You can try greasing the cupcake paper lightly to keep dough from
sticking. 12-15 muffins

809-- Western Biscuits 809

1 C sourdough culture 1/2 C margarine
2 C flour 2 t baking powder
1/3 C milk 1/2 t salt

Stir up everything. Pat out on flat, floured surface. Cut out
biscuts with round object and place in oven. (Can be preheated.)
Cook until golden brown. Makes 25 biscuits.

Just to add to the confusion, here in NZ we also have Girdle (griddle)
scone. Now I would think that the scones we have here are of English
origin. Anyway, as promised here are a couple of scone recipes, the
sort typically made by every NZ housewife.

Scones

3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
50g (2 ounces) butter
1 to 1 1/2 cups milk

Sift dry ingredients. Rub in butter. Add milk and quickly mix t a
soft dough with a knife. Turn out on a floured board. Pat into shape
about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into scquares (or use a biscuit cutter and
cut into circles about 2 1/2 inches across. Place on a cold tray and
put in a hot (450F, 230C) oven for 10-15 minutes till golden brown.
Split and butter and add jam,jam and whipped cream, or jelly or honey,
golden syrup, or Vegemite (yay) or just have with the butter alone.

811-- 811

Cheese Scones

3 cups flour
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 cup grated cheddar
about 1 cup milk
more cheese

Sift dry ingredients, add cheese. Mix to a light dough with the milk.
Turn out onto a floured board and pat (or roll) out. Cut. Place on
an oven tray. Put some more grated cheese on each scone. 10 minutes
at 425F (215C).
Sometimes I like to put 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of curry powder in the
scone. Really brings out the cheese flavour.

812-- 812

Girdle Scones

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt
1 tablespoon butter
Milk to mix

Sift dry ingredients. Rub in butter. Add sufficient milk to make a
fairly soft dough. Roll out fairly thin. Make into a round. Cut into
eight. Cook on a hot greased girdle (griddle) five minutes on each side.

My Mum's girdle was an oval slab out cast iron about 15x10 inches,
with an arched handle which went from end to end. It was placed over
a stove element to get hot then the girdle scones were put on. She
also used it for making pikelets.

Pikelets? Wellll. They are like small pancakes. They are served
room temperature, not too long after baking, either buttered, or
sometimes with jam and cream. Also popular for afternoon tea. This
afternoon tea thing is more popular with an earlier generation than
mine. People sitting rounf eating scones, pikelets, biscuits
(cookies) cake and drinking cups of tea (best china). My generation
(baby boomers) is more into coffee mornings except that most of use
work these days and don't have time... We make muffins :-) for ours

This one is from the Font of All Sourdough
Knowledge book ("Adventures in San Francisco Sourdough Cooking"
by Charles Wilford). I haven't made them, but everything else I've
made from this book has turned out really well.

If anyone makes them, I guess we should get a Full Report...

Tim

----------------------------------------------------------------------
(The original recipe isn't in metric - as I recall, a Tbs is about 15g,
a tsp is about 5g, a cup is about 240ml, an egg yolk is about an egg
yolk...someone who knows better should probably correct this)

1-1/2 cups proofed batter (360 ml)
1 cup hot water (240 ml)
2 TBS butter (30g)
3 TBS sugar (seems like a lot to me...) (45g)
2 tsp salt (10g)
5-1/2 cups flour (1320g)
1 egg yolk
2 Tbs thick cream or evaporated milk (30ml)
coarse salt
Yield: 20 pretzels, about 4 to 5 inches across, hard crust, soft center

1. Let all ingredients and utensils come to room temperature
2. Add the 2 TBS butter, the TBS, sugar, and the 2 tsp salt to the
cup of hot water. Cool to lukewarm.
3. Put the proofed batter into a warm bowl. Add the water mixture
after it has cooled.
4. Add 4 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition.
5. Turn out onto a floured board and knead in approximately 1-1/2
cups more of the flour. The dough will be very stiff.
6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turn over, and cover. Let set
for 2 hours to proof.
7. On a board which has been scraped clean of flour break of pieces
of the dough about the size of a large egg. Roll each piece out
with the palm of your hands until it is about 18 inches long and
about 1/2 inch in diameter (46cm x 1-1/4cm). Twist into the
shape of a pretzel.
8. Place on a greased cookie tin. Brush them with egg yolk mixed
with the 2 TBS cream or evaporated milk. Cover and place in a
warm 85F (30C?) degree spot for 30 minutes for proofing.
9. After proofing, brush again with the egg and cream mixture, and
sprinkle with coarse salt.
10. Bake in a preheated 425F (218C) degree oven for 15 minutes.
Remove and cool on wire racks.

Thanx for the recipe. I finally got around to trying it, and they're
great. Crisp outside, soft inside, great with yellow mustard.

I didn't notice any characteristic sour taste, but I also had a very
short (8 hours) proofing time for the starter. Even so I got great
tasting soft pretzels. I'm thinking Christmas treats here.

SOURDOUGH BAGELS

(Modified from Sunset Breads book, P. 92)

2 C starter
2/3 C warm water
3 tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
~4 C flour
~3 qts boiling water
1 egg, beaten

Mix sugar, salt, starter, water, and 2 1/2 C flour in a large bowl
until pulls away from sides of bowl. Add 1 more cup of flour with
a spoon. Knead until smooth, and let rise in a greased bowl until
doubled (about 4 hours for my starter).

Punch down, knead briefly, and divide into 12 even lumps. Shape
each lump into a ball, then push a hole through to form bagel.
Let rest 1/2 hour or more (I let them double again) on greased
sheets.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Bring 3 qts water to boil (some folks add a little sugar to the
boil), then adjust heat until boiling steadily but gently.

Lift bagels off sheet with a spatula, drop them into the water
one at a time. Boil for a minute, then turn over for another minute.
Lift out with a slotted spoon onto baking sheet (drain if they're
too wet). Brush them with beaten egg.

Bake 20 minutes or until golden.

They're great right out of the oven, but try them toasted as well
the next day.

Here's the bagel recipe from Wilford's book "Adventures
in San Francisco Sourdough Cooking and Baking". (This is
in "Chapter 9: Breads of Other Lands" ! Ah yes, California...)

As for the disclaimer: I haven't tried these, but everything
else I've tried from this book has turned out well. David will
almost certainly put any review of this recipe in the FAQ...

Tim

(I almost feel apologetic, bringing this group back to reality.
"Watch things turn sour?" "Proof positive"?? "Trying to get
a rise"?? "Last thing you needed"?? ouch. Back to the
mushrooms...)

--------------------
1 1/2 cups proofed starter (sponge, batter, etc...)
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
3 TBS sugar
3 TBS salad oil
2 eggs
2 TBS sugar in 4 quarts boiling water

Yield: 12-14 bagels

1. Assemble all ingredients and utensils. Let ingredients come
to room temperature.
2. Sift 1 1/2 cups of the flour, 1 tsp salt, and 3 TBS sugar into
a warm bowl. Stir in the 3 TBS salad oil and the 2 eggs.
3. Stir in the 1 1/2 cups of proofed starter, and add enough
additional flour for the dough to leave the sides of the bowl.
4. Turn the dough onto a well floured board and knead in
enough additional flour to make the dough smooth and
elastic (about 1/4 cup).
5. Place in a warm greased bowl, cover, and set the bowl in
a warm 85-degree F. spot until doubled in bulk. This will
about two hours. When doubled, punch down and let proof for
an additional 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in bulk again.
6. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and divide it into
12-14 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch roll about
3/4 inch thick. Pinch the two ends together to form a
doughnut shape.
7. Boil the 4 quarts of water and add the 2 TBS of sugar. Drop
each bagel into the boiling water one at a time. Boil only
4 at at time. Cook until they rise to the top of the water, and
then turn over and cook for two minutes longer.
8. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a greased cookie
sheet. When all have been boiled and placed on the cookie
sheet, put in a preheated 375-degree F. oven and bake for
20-25 minutes until crusty and golden brown.

900 YUMMY SOURDOUGH CAKES AND THE LIKE RECIPES

901------------------------------------------------------------------------901
# From: Lawrence Allen Hite <[email protected]>

Here's a recipe for a coffee cake that I sort of dreamed up. The
times are variable to your starter and technique...

Raspberry/Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Mix the following together to form a smooth dough:
2 C. starter
3/4 C. milk
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1/2 C. sugar
1 beaten egg
3-1/2 C. bread flour

Let this rise until doubled in bulk (It took about 4 hours for my culture).
Knead this for 5 to 10 minutes, then split into two balls. Roll each out
into a rectangle about 12 X 16 inches. Mix together 8 oz. softened cream
cheese and 4 Tbs. sugar and beat until fluffy. Spread half of this on each
rectangle. Spread 4-5 Tbs. raspberry jam (or you can substitute your
favorite flavor or omit entirely if you like) over cream cheese layer. Now
either leave flat as is or fold over and make slits in the top surface to
expose the filling and let the dough rise a couple of hours. Bake at 375F
for about 25 minutes.

Last week I was browsing through a few cookbooks, and saw a recipe
in a copy of 'Joy of Cooking' for Sourdough Chocolate Cake !! I immediately
decided to try it (chocoholic that I am). For the first try, I felt I
should follow the recipe as printed, and did so (well, almost; I did
substitute cake flour for all-purpose flour). The cake turned out very well,
it rose well, with a good body, not one of those package-cake fluffy
things with the texture of cotton candy ! But it was not tough, either.
All-in-all, a good cake, and the flavor was excellent. I frosted it
with a chocolate cream cheese-confectioners sugar frosting. The recipe
follows:

Have all ingredients at room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cream thoroughly:
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup sugar
Add and beat:
2 eggs
Stir in, then beat well:
1 cup sourdough starter
3/4 cup milk
3 oz. melted semisweet baking chocolate
1 tsp. vanilla
Sift together:
1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour ( I used cake flour )
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Fold the flour mixture into the batter and stir until smooth. Pour
into two greased 1 1/2 inch by 8 inch round cake pans, or one
9 inch square cake pan ( I used round pans ). Bake for about 40
minutes for one square pan, or 25 minutes for two round pans, or
until a cake tester comes out clean.

I liked the way the cake turned out, and now I will experiment a
bit. One thing I want to try, is to substitute cocoa for the baking
chocolate.

By the way, I read that Baking -Soda- when used with an acid
ingredient, will react like baking powder, but the resulting crumb
will be much lighter than that produced with baking powder. I will
also check this out in my experiments.

NOTE:
These doughnuts are virtually greasless. And if you want you can make
several batches at a time and freeze. They keep well and to me taste
after a while in the freezer. Take out as many as needed and thaw and put
sugar on or eat plain.

1 C sourdough culture 2 t cinnamon
1 1/2 C flour 1/2 C oil

1/2 C sugar

Mix starter, flour, sugars, cinnamon, and oil in a bowl. Place

Bake 25-30 minutes in covered oven. Serves 8.

Variations

1. Blueberry filling instead of cherry
2. Add 1 C of raisins with the fruit filling
3. Add 1/2 C of chopped pecans.

Never a mention of temperature or number of coals or amount
in any of these recipes. From experience you can omit the
yeast in the "Rancher's bread". You might expect a little
longer wait, but the times given are reasonable for the Alaskan
culture I use. Also you might try replacing the 1 C water with
a second C sourdough culture. You should expect this to make
at least 2 loaves for a 10" oven.

I've kept most/all of the sourdough recipes posted to both
the net and the sourdough/bread machine groups. However,
they are on UNIX, so I've got macros included in the files.
I've culled the Amish starter recipes from my file and taken

AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD STARTER
John D. Holder, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque

I have made friendship bread several times with a gift
starter, and I have a pretty good guess as to how to make
one. This is slightly different than most sourdough-type
starters. I would either dissolve one package of dry active
yeast in a half cup of warm water or milk. If you use
water, add one cup milk, one cup flour, and one cup of
granulated sugar. If you use milk, add one half cup milk,
one cup flour, and one cup of granulated sugar. Set in a
warmish place, like near the stove, and stir once daily for
5-10 days. This makes about 3 cups of starter. Most
recipes for friendship bread that I've seen call for one
cup of starter to start out with, so as tradition dictates I
would keep a cup of starter for myself and give the other
two cups to two friends with the recipe.

AMISH FRIENDSHIP SOURDOUGH (MUFFIN) STARTER
Henry Troup, Bell Northern Research, Ottawa, Canada

Original Instructions:

o Keep only in a ceramic bowl, covered.

o Never refrigerate.

o Stir daily.

o Feed every five days with 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and
1 cup milk.

Split into four, bake one part, keep one part, and give two
to friends.

A quick calculation indicates that in 160 days (32
replications) every person on the planet will have some
muffin starter. And it will take a lot of flour to feed all
of those.

RELAXED INSTRUCTIONS

o Keep in a covered bowl. I transfer it to a clean bowl
every month or so, usually when I'm baking. Mine sits
on top of the microwave

o Refrigeration will slow down the starter, usually a
good idea. Freezing for over a month will kill it. I
refrigerate the starter when I go away for more than a
weekend.

o Stir daily.

o When it looks thin and watery, or smells of alcohol, or
you want to bake with it, feed with: 1/2 cup flour, 1/2
cup sugar and 1/2 cup milk.

It's okay to feed it and not bake immediately, but it really
should be split between every two feedings. The objective
is to keep the yeast in the starter reproducing, as opposed
to fermenting.

may top with candied fruit, nuts, or apple slices before
baking. Pour into 2 well greased sugared loaf pans. Bake

AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD (Original Starter Recipe)
Linda DiSanto, Austin, Texas

1 package active dry yeast 2 1/2 cups warm water 2 cups sifted flour
1 Tbsp sugar

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of the warm water in a deep glass
or plastic container. Stir in remaining warm water, flour
and sugar. Beat until smooth. Cover with loose fitting
cover. DO NOT REFRIGERATE! The starter requires 10 days for
fermentation as follows:

--------------- CUT HERE OR PRINTER WILL JAM ----------------------------

DAYS 1, 2, 3 and 4: Stir batter
DAY 5: Add 1 cup each milk, flour, sugar and stir
DAYS 6, 7, and 8: Stir batter each day
DAY 10: Add 1 cup each flour, sugar, milk; stir.

The batter is ready to use.

This makes 3 cups batter to use in the recipes. If you want
to you may pout 1 cup batter each into 3 containers and give
1 or 2 away.

Save 1 cup to begin process all over again OR you can use
all 3 cups batter for the recipes at 1 time and when you
want to bake these again just start the starter again.

OR use the other cup of batter to make the bread or cake.

Well, heck, here's the recipe for Amish loaf that passed through here a
little over a year ago. Don't have the culture, though - didn't thik
much of it, so didn't make any effort to keep it alive after passing it
on. If "everybody" has seen this, it might be interesting to see if
the recipe differs amongst those who had it passed to them...after
all, stories always seem to mutate when passed from person to person...
do recipes also, or are they scrupulously preserved?

Essene Bread

I just thought I'd share a new "discovery" of mine with the list. It's
not sourdough bread, but it is pretty neat bread (well, I think so anyway).

My "Uprisings" whole grain bread book referred to a bread called "Essene"
bread. Their version of this bread is unyeasted, and made entirely of
sprouted wheat. Sprouted wheat goes through stages where the starchy
part gets converted to sugars, and the sprouts taste sweet. This bread
is made of ground up wheat sprouts when they reach this stage. The resulting
bread tastes very sweet indeed, as if you soaked it in honey. I was pleasantly
surprised by the results, so I'm passing it on to the rest of you.

Basic method:
Sprout the wheat:

- use 1 to 2 cups of organic hard wheat berries (otherwise
it may not sprout if treated with something)

- put in one or two large jars, cover the mouth of the jar
with cheesecloth or something, soak the berries in tepid
water overnight,

- drain water next day, and rinse the berries once in the
morning, and once in the evening.

- when the sprouts are about 2 or 3 times as long as the
berry it should be ready (taste it along the way to see
how the flavour changes)

Grind the sprouts:

- dry off the sprouts a little by skipping the last rinse

- preheat oven to 250F

- use a regular meat grinder, grind the sprouts into
a bowl (coating the grinder parts with oil makes cleanup
easier).

- squeeze out air from the glob of "dough" and shape into
rolls or round loaves.

- grease a baking tray, sprinkle with corn meal, put rolls
or loaves on tray.

Bake:

- essene bread takes a long time to bake, 2.5 to 3 hours at
250F, perhaps longer. You must not bake it at high
tempuratures. The bread will be moist on the inside
so don't pick it up off the tray like a regular loaf or
it will fall apart. The bread is done with the bottom
is resilient and the outside develops a crust -- but it will
be moist and appear uncooked on the inside. It should
solidify somewhat as it cools.

So the bread is made entirely of sprouted wheat, no yeast or salt added. I've
heard some people grind dates in with the bread, but it turns out
sweet enough for me.
