Ok this is a wierd one, and its different enough that I think its worth a separate entry. Basically Mrs Sambar wanted me to try the popovers but in a takoyaki pan. Yes, we have wierd ideas, and they sometimes work out. Spoiler alert : it worked out! As for technique, I heated the pan…
Sourdough Scones
| Yes, another sourdough recipe. It’s a thing with us. Quick recap : Sourdough has to be fed weekly (ish), so we use up sourdough in various recipes. Sourdough can be used as the main “flour” component or as a flavoring (just a little sourdough is used up, to impart flavor). Sourdough helps particularly with sweet…
Sourdough Milk Bread
| As a family, we went through an intense baking phase (surprisingly just before the pandemic), and we tore through breads and various baked and breakfast sourdough foods. Then Mrs Sambar disavowed most carbs, so the house was devoid of bread. I kept a picture of my sourdough bread on my mantle in remembrance of times…
Basic Sourdough Crepes
| OK, when a recipe diverges sufficiently from the original, I stick a new post out on it. Today’s victim is my pancake/waffle/crepe recipe. I have one on coconut sourdough and oatmeal sourdough. Oatmeal sourdough batter doesnt work well for crepes (because, oatmeal). And coconut is not always the way to go. So here is a…
Sourdough Popovers vs Sourdough Yorkshire Pudding
| In the red white and blue corner, Sourdough Popovers, in the other red white and blue corner, Sourdough Yorkshire Puddins. Wait a hot minute, they’re twins! Call off the cagematch, its been fixed… Jokes aside, it is very hard to tell the difference between the two. Our ‘Murican Popover has a slightly different ratio of…
Basic Bacon, Low and Slow
| Recently, I’ve come to realize that even the simple things matter. Don’t neglect the little things, they make a big difference. Bacon is one of those things. I’ve tried a lot of ways to make bacon – in the microwave, on the stove (hot and fast), in the oven, in the toaster oven. Of all…
Sourdough Oat Pancakes!
| Yes, thats an exclamation, we were surprised it turned out as good as it did. The thought of adding oats to pancakes came about because of a recent edict from the pediatrician. We were asked to add more fiber to the kids diet (without making the non parents squeamish, lets just say it was to…
Sourdough Sticky Bun w/ Tangzhong
| I’m leaving out the superlatives here because it is already a bit much :). Read on for perhaps one of the most involved recipes I have on hand. Delicious, but its a process.
Simple Tamagoyaki
| I absolutely love tamagoyaki. It is a sweet eggy custardy treat for a lazy Saturday morning. A family favorite and we make it more often than we ought.
Incredible Sourdough Coconut Pancakes (and Waffles and Crepes)
| Why Coconut pancakes? Because Coconut. We like to experiment. One such experiment was subbing out coconut creme for milk in our sourdough pancake recipe, and breakfast was never the same.
