I made a full bowl of pancake batter yesterday.
I got a funnel, and filled a large empty plastic bottle with it. Great!, I thought, that's enough for two or three days of steady pancake eating.
I've just opened the bottle. It exploded. I mean, really exploded! There's pancake batter all over the floor, the walls, and the cupboards.
I'll pay a fiver to anyone who is willing to come round to my place and clean it up. £7.50 if you do it before my girlfriend gets back.

I have a friend who LOVES cleaning. She's positively kinky for it.
A kitchen covered in batter?
Shed probably pay YOU to sort it.

What you have there is the beginnings of a sourdough.
It's an early indicator that you are becoming a hipster.
Do you also have vintage clothing and high maintenance facial hair?

I've done it before without any problems. The only thing I did differently was to use buttermilk instead of ordinary milk. Oh yeah, I filled the bottle a little higher too. Is buttermilk gassier? Where's your compassion, Nice-Guy Monte? |

It was probably contaminated with airborne yeast. The explosion caused by CO2.
Unless you made the mistake of using SR flour in which case it was acidity in the buttermilk chemically reacting with the bicarb' in the flour to produce CO2. In that case you were making soda bread rather than sourdough.
Either way it is a lesson to be very careful when messing with the dark art of bread making.

I honestly don't remember. We have SR and plain flour. Maybe. |

If you were following an American pancake recipe then it probably was SR flour.
What you actually made was a bomb.
Just be grateful nobody was hurt.

The question is, if it had injured a third party would it have been an accident or a case of assault and battery?

The wonder of it all is that only my trainers and jeans got covered. Nothing above the waist. The wall and floor are a monochrome Pollock painting. |

Your time would be better spent cleaning before your gf returns to prevent you getting battered for a second time today. She'll kick the crepe out of you. |
