First time experimenting with sourdough and starter. I have dubious but optimistic thoughts about Larry. This is my Day 5. Based on instructions, I decided to use the discard, wondering if it would be tasty or lead to severe poisoning.
Made pancakes using Day 9 (1/2 batch ) recipe listed on site with discard. Very concerning that it lists using active fed starter as this was not my situation. Plowed through. Added pecans and blueberries while frying. Batter a little runny. Just a bit. Will add a tablespoon flour next time.
Was completely amazed. Crisp edges. Some airy Lift. A touch of flour would have helped. A touch more salt too. But sincerely an excellent unique and wonderful taste! A keeper!!!
Now I don't really care how a bread turns out. Can happily use for pancakes weekly.
Next up is an English Muffin recipe I found online with the other bit of Day 5 discard. Again....it's meant to be used with active starter....but we'll see what happens tomorrow ( dough is resting for now).
Thank you for the pancakes recipe!!!
