Recipe: Make sourdough crumpets from excess sourdough starter


Feeding a young sourdough starter often results in waste. Make the most of your excess starter for a quick breakfast or snack.

Recipe: Nicola Galloway

Feeding your sourdough starter with fresh flour and water is inevitable to keep it healthy, even if you can’t (or don’t feel want to) use the discarded concoction. That’s why Homegrown Kitchen author Nicola Galloway, whose honorary third child happens to be a sourdough starter, created an tasty way to avoid starter waste.
