Herman is still going strong around here but he is definately on a sugar free diet. My family found the cakes too sweet so he has morphed into a starter made on flour and milk. I use him in everything from bread to pancakes to muffins to cakes. By trial and error I have worked out that I can replace 125ml liquid and 75g flour (give or take) with 1 cup of Herman. My normal pikelet/pancake mixture pre herman was PikeletsIngredients: * 1 cup sr flour * 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of flour * pinch salt * 2 tbs sugar * 1 egg * 3/4 cup milk * 1 tsp vinegar * 2 tsp softened butter (or 2 tsp olive oil)Directions:Combine flour, bicarb, salt and sugar in a food processor (or TM or just a bowl with a whisk). Add the egg, milk, vinegar and butter, blend until smooth. Drop tablespoons of batter into hot butter and cook on both sides until well browned. Served warm with butter and jam.Herman:Can substitute 1 cup (250g approx) of sourdough starter for 1/2 cup milk and 75g flour (1/2 cup).
