                <text>A small, but interesting collection.  The cards in this box spanned from classic recipes, to soap, to DIY bee pollen to keep your bees alive until they can start harvesting their own pollen.  There were also some repeated recipes and, of those, the Sour Milk Pancakes stood out.  There are two versions of that recipe in the collection.  Sour Milk Pancakes is the older version and expects that cooks have soured milk on hand.  Later on, the recipe was updated to use buttermilk instead.  From what I can find online, this transition happened as home refrigeration became more common.  Prior to homes having a refrigerator, milk would sour fairly quickly and would then be used for the acid in recipes like this rather than having the sour milk go to waste.&#13;
&#13;
Another standout recipe in this set is Sukiyaki (for 100 People).  The scale of this recipe indicates that this collection was built by someone who would cook for large events.  There are also a few other recipes, like Punch, that are scaled for a crowd.  One of the recipes (Chicken Casserole) is attributed to 'Pres. and Sis. Kimball' which could indicate members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints.</text>

The next morning:  Put 1 or 2 cups of starter back into

          2 tablespoons sugar

Back:
batter on the griddle it isn't hot enough.  Always make dollar s-
ize pancakes for ease in turning.

WAFFLES:  Do not thin with milk the above batter.  Sourdough
          waffles are extra crispy and light.

# Sourdough Pancakes or Waffles

## Ingredients

- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 Tbsp sugar

## Instructions

1. **The night before:** Place one cup starter in a large bowl. Stir in 2 cups warm water and 2 1/2 cups flour. The mixture will be lumpy, but will smooth out after it ferments overnight.
2. **The next morning:** Put 1 or 2 cups of the starter back into your sourdough starter pot. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use again.
3. To the batter remaining in the bowl, add the egg, cooking oil, and evaporated milk. Beat thoroughly.
4. In a separate small bowl, combine the salt, baking soda, and sugar. Blend together until smooth, eliminating any lumps of soda.
5. Stir the dry mixture gently into the batter. This will cause a gentle foaming action.
6. Allow the batter to rest a few minutes.
7. Fry on a **hot** lightly greased griddle. If pancakes do not brown rapidly and sizzle slightly as you drop each spoonful of batter onto the griddle, it isn't hot enough.
8. Always make dollar-size pancakes for ease in turning.

### For Waffles

9. Do not thin the above batter with milk. Sourdough waffles are extra crispy and light.</text>
