Equipment

  • Cast Iron Pan (any pan will work, but cast iron provides the best even heat source
  • Flat Metal or Wood Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (ish) Sourdough Starter Recently Fed
  • 1/2 cup (ish) Chopped Scallions
  • 1 Tbsp (ish) Sesame Seeds

Instructions
 

  • Heat a cast iron skillet (any pan will work) over Medium heat, coat with EVOO
  • Using a paper towel, rub the EVOO all over the skillet
  • Then add a little bit more EVOO
  • Pour out desired amount of sourdough starter into a circular pancake shape
  • Add chopped scallions to top side, then add sesame seeds - drizzle a bit more EVOO on top
  • Cook on underside for anywhere between 2-5 minutes, depending on your stove top
  • Once underside is crispy, flip over with flat spatula and cook other side
  • Cook other side anywhere between 2-5 minutes, just closely monitoring color/crispiness
  • You want to cook it enough for the scallions to caramelize and the sesame seeds to toast - yum!
  • Chop into desired number of pieces, just as you'd slice a pizza
