Flat as a Pancake – NOT!

Always looking for ideas to use excess Levain Mother (sourdough starter), we came across this idea from one of our neighbours.

The recipe is very simple, with only 3/4 cup of Mother required, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil, 1/3 cup of non fat dry milk powder, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 1/2 Tablespoons of sugar.

You can see the recipe and the mixture below.

you can see how high the mixture rises in just 6 minutes between first and second photos below.

It only makes 2 pancakes, but they are huge and fluffy.

Yummy with berries.

Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

  1. I remember in the good old days – we had a “starter” that was passed around. It was a friendship loaf – kind of like a cinnamon loaf. You had to add things to it on certain days – and then before you make it – you kept so much of the “starter”. Passed some to the friends and kept some for yourself. I made those loaves for years. So much fun
