I messed up the butter mixture by melting the butter. It is better to keep the butter in a spreadable consistency to prevent it from flowing out while cutting. Even with the messy filling, the rolls turned out...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/09/cinnamon-rolls.html/feed 2 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/strawberry-banana-sourdough-pancakes.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/strawberry-banana-sourdough-pancakes.html#comments Fri, 08 Apr 2016 23:42:11 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=22235 Maintaining sourdough starter is not hard, but finding recipes that use it seems to be the hard part. When I came across this pancake recipe I was really thrilled because now I can use the starter to make pancakes and kids seem to be more interested in pancakes than with bread.

I have used a combination of wheat and white flour, but you can use all white if needed. This is a fun kind of roll to make with kids. I had earlier posted crescent rolls and plain rolls.

I have made it a few times until now, but I have not been able to shape the murukkus. So, I usually  just squeeze it directly in oil.
