Sourdough Day

It was a cold, rainy, frosty day here even though it was June. 

I already had the sourdough sponged to make Sourdough Tortillas. This recipe is from Vintage Remedies: Guide to Bread. These are easy and light. I can mix them in the morning and roll and bake just before supper. They have become our favorite tortilla recipe because of how light and tender they are. I usually use a Spelt-Prairie Gold-Natural White Flour mix for these. But sometimes I use some Barley too.

Using a French Rolling Pin, the tortillas are rolled directly on the counter top.

Using a cast iron skillet heated to medium, then lowering the temperature. See the air bubbles-they make the tortilla light.

I stack the tortillas on a cooling rack as they come off the pan.

Up close to see the air bubbles.

Our 37th anniversary was the next day, so I wanted a yummy dessert to put in Mr. Wonderful's lunch. The Sourdough Chocolate Cake also from Vintage Remedies: Guide to Bread looked like a healthier choice. It was easy to make and turned out light and moist.

The batter is mixed easily by hand in two steps.

Poured into the buttered pan, ready to bake. Look at the activity of the sourdough-all those bubbles!

I chose to just put a glaze on top.

The crumb is magnificent!

We also had Sourdough Waffles for breakfast the next morning. There were fresh strawberries from the garden for Mr. Wonderful's waffle.

Sourdough is yummy and healthy!
