I tried making crumpets using sourdough starter, they turned out looking OK but tasted sourish. Got any suggestions?
Hi Hani - I'd say if you don't want sourdough crumpets that taste sourish, don't use sourdough starter; follow the recipe as written for a nice, "sweet" tasting crumpet. If you really are devoted to sourdough, feed your starter for several days (once each day) before using; that shold make it a bit less sour. And use less of it, to reduce the sour flavor even more. Good luck - PJH
