Now that you are confident in your sourdough, and are doing so well at keeping it alive, you're going to end up with a lot of discard.
What's discard? When you are feeding regularly, you're going to have some starter that's not quite ready to make beautiful loaves of bread, or you don't have time to bake one day so you have extra that you need to remove from your jar. Store this in a separate jar in the fridge so that you are ready to bake something else whenever the mood strikes.
My Sourdough Discard Recipes
Dairy-Free Pancakes

I love my griddle! I can cook lots of pancakes all at once to feed my hungry crowd.
Applesauce Muffins
Use applesauce or pumpkin or whatever puree you have on hand. These can be made special with whatever mix-ins you have on hand.
Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Everyone loves a classic lemon poppyseed muffin. The discard adds a really great tang to these.
Heavy Cream Drop Biscuits
Nothing beats the ease of drop biscuits. No rolling or cutting, just get 'er done.

Hello what if you don’t have access to some starter do you have a recipe to start your own starter?

If you are on instagram I have a tutorial saved to my highlights on starting one of your own. It only takes a few days and all you need it water, flour and two jars. (one for the discard)

I also use discard for hamburger buns and cookies

I make sour dough crackers with the discard. They are sooo good. My kids will eat them over chips any day! We top them with cream cheese and smoked salmon, Yum!

We love making crackers out of the discard, baking them with different topping sprinkled on. The only trick for me is getting the dough rolled out really thin.
