Recipe: Make sourdough crumpets from excess sourdough starter

Recipe: Nicola Galloway
Feeding your sourdough starter with fresh flour and water is inevitable to keep it healthy, even if you can’t (or don’t feel want to) use the discarded concoction. That’s why Homegrown Kitchen author Nicola Galloway, whose honorary third child happens to be a sourdough starter, created an tasty way to avoid starter waste.
