Scrolling through the recent posts - there was yours! I have been planning on starting a new starter for a couple days, now. (Even started one a couple days ago - and intend to start another tomorrow - totally different!)
I copied your post, here, and emailed it to myself. Sho’nuff - all the links work! THANK YOU!
I kept one starter growing for ten years. I wish I hadn’t had to let it go. I made the best sourdough pancakes you would ever DREAM of!
I bought 45# of flour - nine five pound bags (General Mills) and 25# of bread flour (from Sam’s Club) in the last months. Three jars of yeast. Oil, lard, crisco, buter - I’m ready!
THANKS again, Granny! (If there is a ping list - JOIN ME UP!) LOL!
You are welcome, recipes have always been “made for sharing”.
Next time you buy yeast, look for the 18 ounce package of SAF yeast, it is the same as the jars you buy, and far cheaper. Read your jar label and read the SAF yeast label.......
I had already ordered it, when it came, I had to find out how to use it and and find that it is the brand the Mormons use and store and have used it several years.
I buy my flour and yeast, beans and other dry food at:
Walton Feed. Com
It is cheaper to pay shipping, than it is to buy in Kingman.
And their products, as in beans, oatmeal, flour, etc is so much cheaper....
I put it in the freezer, then take out about a weeks needed at a time and put it in the expensive jar.
Sour Dough is something every one should know, and once you get in the habit of using it, you will miss it when you stop.
Back in the 1960’s, I got a small cookbook from Alaska Gov. on sourdough cooking, which I have lost ......there was a recipe for a chocolate cake, that took 2 days to make, you just kept adding this and that and it was so good.
You are on the ping list, I ping every few days, rather than the single posts.
I am so glad you are here to read and hope you will share your recipes with us.
How I miss being able to garden and cook all day.
