As some of you know my latest adventure is bread making. I have had some success and now that I got the book Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast by Ken Forkish I can attribute my success to dumb luck. Most of what I was doing was bass ackwards to what I should have been doing
Anyway I was keeping my Levain active so I had to feed it every day which required me to dump half of it out to add the new flour and water. I thought that was a waste of good starter so I investigated to see what I could use it for and found a recipe for pancakes using it, so I saved some and gave it a try.
I have to say they are quite good very lite and flavorful. I made the pancakes and Barb cooked up some eggs and some of our homemade breakfast sausage.
Really a great breakfast.
EDIT:
Made waffles with the same basic recipe this morning....They were wonderful, very lite and crispy.
Have a great week everyone.
