Sourdough Shortcake

Sourdough gets into everything I bake these days. And I'm not one bit sad about it. I picked strawberries yesterday and decided to make a shortcake. I looked up several sourdough shortcake recipes -but they all looked too complicated so I dug out my mama's shortcake recipe and revised it for sourdough.

I honestly had no idea if it would raise or be edible but I thought it was worth a try. And well. It turned out!

  Sourdough Shortcake

1 cup sourdough starter

2 cups flour

1 cup water

Mix together, cover and ferment on the counter for 4 hours.

The mixture with be thick.

Then add:

1/2 cup butter, melted

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

 1/4 tsp salt 

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix together and pour into a greased 9" pan.

Sprinkle with sanding sugar. 

Let rest 30 minutes before baking.

Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Enjoy!
