Making with the sourdough discard? I'm feeding my sourdough and looking for something to do with the batter I"m to discard. I have enough waffles and pancakes. Can I use the discard cup for some part of this recipe? I am not a skilled enough baker to know how much of what is okay to swap out...Thanks in advance. These look lovely. I also have your English Muffins recipe which calls for sourdough starter but doesn't indicate Fed or Discard. Jacqueline, I'd use your 1 cup of discard - subbing it for 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup liquid. May or may not work, as sourdough can be quite variable in how liquid it is, and crumpets are quite particular about the flour/liquid balance. But give it a try, OK? As for the English muffins - if a recipe doesn't indicate whether or not the sourdough should be fed, it should be. That way, the yeast in the sourdough is activ and will help with the rise. To use unfed starter, increase the yeast in the recipe. Good luck - PJH
