Pancakes, quick-breads, etc. with soaked flour

[*Di]

Does anyone know....

if you soak the flour (with water/buttermilk) that you use to make muffins or pancakes or crepes or quick-bread like zuchini bread, is the taste pleasant and not sour... sort of like regular-style pancakes ?

The reason I ask is because I actually don't have children, but care full-time for an elderly person who is a very picky eater just like kids are sometimes !

TIA

I think they taste very comparable to regular pancakes. I've made them a couple of times for my ds who often turns his nose up at sourdough bread and he gobbled them up like no tomorrow. My dh says there's no difference.

I just made some "soaked" pancakes and dh claimed he can tell the difference. But I told him I was trying this sourdough pancake recipe. The kids gobbled all the pancakes up so I'd say give it a try!

Thanks for the info. ! And yes, I will give it a try Just wondering, how do you make pancakes otherwise - just normally, not the NT pancakes ?

We used a variety of methods to make our pancakes prior to heading the NT direction - either a box mix or a yogurt pancake recipe from a Nava Atlas cookbook (The Veg Family Cookbook).
