So... WHAT HAPPENED? I Followed the Recipe.

 

 

Ever used a Book recipe and only did the weight  (grams, OZ or ML) measurements? Then you bread did not turn out  right ? Well I did and  will tell you what I found out.

It was a bread book.. I thought A good one. However, every recipe I made did not turn out right. Decided to use  the cup measurements and the scale together. What I found out was the books weight measurements were double!  My suggestion  is to do the cup and scale to check the books Author or the online recipes weight accuracy .

Once I started doing that my bread started to come out right. Sometimes folks publishers do not check the details. Was very surprised that the books ingredient weight measurements  were that far off. 

Banana Nut Sourdough Waffles

 

Having Sourdough Starter all the time has made me create New recipes. We had some Bananas that need to be used as they were very ripe. Using very ripe bananas in a bread recipe is great, as you do not have to add sugar. The sweetness is  intensified  n the bananas. So do not throw them out mash them and use them in cooking. They can by added in any Recipe instead of the sugar. Even cookie ones. 

 

{For this recipe you will need 2 very ripe bananas mashed about 1 cup }

Wet ingredients:

3/4 cup active Sourdough started

3 large eggs

3Tablespoons Melted Butter. cooled slightly
