3 Recipes for Gluten-Free Sourdough Discard

Image
3 yummy recipes made from gluten-free sourdough discard and 2 other gluten-free flours. Sourdough bread has a number of healthy attributes, as we likely all know from our experimentation during the Pandemic Pause.  This time around we are working with a gluten-free starter (1/4 cup of brown rice and 2 tablespoons of filtered water--tap water has chemicals that can slow down the starter).  I take out 1/2 of the starter each morning, and then feed it again. I also feed it in the evening before going to bed. The portion of starter I remove-- the "discard"-- I either put into the fridge or I use it to make something.  GLUTEN FREE SOURDOUGH FOR EVERYONE Amazon Associate The following three recipes are a great way to use up the day's discard in a delicious, gluten-free, vegan way.  Gluten-free, vegan, Lemon-Ginger Pancakes (Firefly generated)   1.
