About Sourdough Starter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Long before sourdough became trendy it was the leavener of choice for pioneers, miners and other homesteaders. None of this \"hydration\" talk or \"discarding\" starter nonsense (throw away food?! heaven forbid!). You used it to cook with regularly and always saved a bit to keep the starter going for the next recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you do not have sourdough starter ask around to see if you can get some. Sourdough fans love to share starter, knowledge and recipes. Or you can make your own (it will take a week or more) with these easy instructions from my blogging buddy Erin at\u00a0The Spiffy Cookie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people keep their sourdough on the thick side, almost resembling soft bread dough. Mine is usually much more liquid to the point I can pour it, more like Greek yogurt. But, sometimes it is thicker, I don't overthink my hydration levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I do account for the variations in the starter thickness when cooking with it starting with less flour and slowly adding more if needed. I have adjusted the recipe instruction to explain this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your starter is extra sour, you will want to add a bit more baking soda. These muffins are lightly sweet, add more sugar if you want them sweeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am not a big fan of the term discard. The concept of throwing out food is a strange concept to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But yes, you can.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The sourdough is here for taste, the leavening comes from the baking powder and soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Celebrate the Mom's in your life with a lovely brunch including these delicious recipes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p><\/div>\nAdjust the recipe for you sourdough starter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
