What are you cooking?

How about some homemade crackers. Pretty simple really. 200 grams of sourdough starter discard mixed with 2 tbsp of melted butter. Spread it out in a thin layer on parchment paper in a cookie sheet. Top with whatever you want. I used everything bagel on one batch and the other batch was salt, garlic powder, and herbs. I should have paid more attention on the second batch as the edges are pretty brown, but still tasty.

sourdough starter discard

I HATE the term "sourdough discard". It's only discard if you throw it away. Otherwise, it's just plain sourdough starter.

They look great! Did you use a flat starter or did you feed it first and let it come back to life? The reason I ask is that I have a jar of starter in my fridge that's a little over 2 years old that I only feed when I need to use it.

It's leftover flat starter that has been building up for a while. I'm not looking for them to raise up, just the flavor from the fermenting.

BTW I agree with you about not calling it discard because I'm not throwing it away. It's just the term everyone uses.
