This is a cross between an Indian dosa and an American(?)-style pancake. Proportions are from memory, and you may need to adjust the flour or liquids a little to get the standard pancake batter consistency.
First, the initial batter:
- 1/3 cup whole wheat flour.
- 1/3 cup urad flour, available at your local Indian grocery.
- 2/3 cup water.
- Tablespoon sourdough starter.
Mix all of the above, and leave out overnight to ferment. The next day add:
- 0.5 teaspoon salt.
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda.
- 1 beaten egg.
Mix gently; as with standard pancakes, don't overmix or you'll lose more of the carbon dioxide and the pancakes won't be as fluffy. Fry on a griddle using butter, as you would with standard pancakes.
