Savoury Chive Pancakes With Sourdough Starter

Ingredients:

350 grams discard sourdough starter (approximately 1.5 cups)

1/2 cup water

1 egg

1 tablespoon cooking oil

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup chives, chopped

1/2 cup  carrot, shredded

1 teaspoon salt

Some cooking oil for frying pancakes


Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine discard sourdough starter with water. Add egg and oil and whisk to combine. Add flour and stir well to combine. 
  2. Add chives , shredded carrot and salt into the batter and stir to combine.
  3. The dough should feel quite wet and soft. Let it rest for 30 minutes. 
  4. Lightly grease a medium non-stick frying pan with oil. Heat over medium heat for 1 minute, then pour 3/4 cup of the batter to the hot pan. Swirl the pan to spread the batter so that it covers the surface. This method gives the pancakes a thin, crusty texture.
  5. Cook the pancake until golden brown, about one minute, and then flip to cook for other side for one more minute. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more pancakes. Just eyeballed it, you don't want to eat undercook or burned pancake.
  6. Serve on its own or with a side of black vinegar and ginger slices dipping sauce, chilli dipping sauce, or ketchup.


Notes:

  • You can make these pancakes crispier by cooking less volume and cook each side for an extra minute. Just make sure to keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn. There is a very fine line between super crispy and burned, and you don't want to cross it.
  •  Chive pancakes are best served immediately after cooking.Once they cool down, they loose some of their crispiness. You can reheat by popping into the toaster oven or fry it on a skillet.
  • You can freeze the pancake individually in a ziploc bag or sealable container, and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. To reheat, simply pop into the toaster, air fryer, or 180℃ oven for a few minutes.   


Happy Making!
