What's for dinner?

Something sourdough related. Maybe biscuits with a veggie based gravy..I made starter a couple of months ago and I'm trying to learn to like sourdough taste:)
I'm no sourdough expert but when I do make something sourdough like bread or pancakes, it's really nice with white flour 75%ish and spelt flour 25%ish. Has a really nutty flavour to it from the spelt flour.

I've made 100% spelt flour starter then add this to the white bread flour when making a loaf. That's really nice also.
I'll have to think about making a new starter since it took so long to get one going (it was my first time making it and it was a bit confusing to me during the process but turned out well). But I will do the spelt add to the mother and see what happens *thumbsup

My starter has been going for about 2 1/2 years now. I use 50g old stater, 75g water and 75g fresh strong organic white bread flour (but you could use any flour, like spelt). I put it in the fridge and refresh once a week, though i have pushed it for 2 weeks.
When i go to use it, i will get it going over a few days. I have one of these cup warming plates which can go down to about 24 degrees c. I then make up the starter and put on plate. Refresh 24 hours later. I do this for a couple of days, refreshing every 24 hours. Then refresh every morning and evening for a few days. It will be very active by now.

I just added to my starter this morning after pouring some off and letting it sit out to warm for a couple of hours, It's really been a fascinating experience. And about 3 weeks ago I realized it had been over two weeks since I had added to it, it had a bit of grey on the top which different sites said I could pour off or just mix up....I chose to pour it off. And she did just fine after I fed her, nice and happy and bubbly.......


I like your way of making the starter. I'll give it a try....
