I went on a sourdough making kick last year and had a blast with it. Then I got sick, then I moved...but now I'm ready to venture forth again in my new digs...
My at home kids don't like sourdough bread...but they do like sourdough hotcakes. I can live with that. Sourdough lends itself to a variety of baking uses...pancakes, waffles (which I never make, since I don't have a waffle iron)...ENGLISH MUFFINS (which is what I want to make now).
Here's the starter:

And here are the muffins...a couple of people who belong to a sourdough group I'm a part of (fb) have made these and taken pics, and they look fabulous:
Pantry Revamp: Sourdough English Muffins - Five Little Homesteaders
You split them after they're cooked, and you have homemade sourdough English muffins..can't beat that in my book. For all that there's a regular wave of people who have suddenly *discovered* sourdough, I have yet to see anyone selling these babies....and the sourdoughs I see for sale in the shops around here don't look anything near as good as my breads did, and I didn't think mine were that fantastic.
