It's a Snap (Sourdough Rabbit Hole Recipe #2)


Crackers are a great and easy way to use the sourdough discard if you are like me and do not like to throw things away.  I have tried two recipes and I much prefer the one with the olive oil as they are super easy to roll out.  The crackers though go from perfect to burned in about 2 seconds so you have to keep a close eye on them.   The couple is keeping an eye on the crackers. 


I roll them on silicone mats and cut them with a pizza cutter into squares.  You also should poke each square with a fork so they don't puff up.  My recommendation is adding more herbs than noted in the recipe and a little more salt.  

Olive Oil Recipe - the one I recommend.  This one does not have you cut them in squares, but I still like to do that.  You can experiment with flavored oils and different spices and herbs, but I have had the most luck with the Herbs de Provence

Butter Recipe  - these are harder to mix and  roll out and I don't find the taste to be any better with the butter.

Down a Sourdough Rabbit Hole (Sourdough Rabbit Hole Prologue)

When I first began my sourdough starter in March, I did not know quarantine sourdoughing was a thing. But I found myself home more like a lot of others and I had been wanting to try doing it and now I was home more to give it a try. Luckily, I had stocked up on flour as it got a little difficult to always count on being able to get it a few weeks in when everyone started stockpiling everything. I was not exempt from  the food hoarding phenomena and while I did not go completely crazy, I did keep on hand many more things that I normally would. It certainly was disconcerting to find yourself at a grocery store with shelves completely cleared out of many items and rationing in place. It makes you realize just how spoiled you are being able to get what you want on a whim.     So I started the process and now have been keeping it going for several months.  While sometimes it does seem like a chore to feed it, I mostly find it very interesting to see it grow and use i...

Lemon Pie "Delicious"(Mom M Recipe #8)

Finally, I made a recipe from the box that someone actually remembered Mom making before.    Mom would be what I called my grandmother  not to be confused with my Mom.  I don't know why but it was never confusing as to who I was referring to when I said it to me or to Mom and Mom.  So this recipe is for lemon pie though the recipe for the pie crust and for the meringue was not actually included on the card so I had to do those on my own.                                                                 The lemon custard was very sweet and did not set up like my grandmothers did.   I would probably adjust the recipe if I made it aga...

4th of July Honey Drops (Mom M Recipe #5)

It has been a little hot for baking lately so there has been a little hiatus in trying recipes from the box.     I got some great honey from the farmers market a couple of weeks ago and had been wondering what I was going to use it in.    Then I saw this recipe in the box for Honey Drops.      I don't recall having these before, but the recipe looks well used so  they must have been made a time or two.          The recipe makes a nice dough that is easy to roll into balls for baking. Though I was not sure that this was the prescribed method since this like many of the recipes listed only ingredients and no directions.    But they baked up just right.  You have to make the balls on the smaller side since you are putting them together in sandwich fashion.   I suppose you could make a giant sandwich cookie, but I prefer the smaller size.   Sin...
