Almost all discard: a cup of unfed starter becomes four or five holey, buttery crumpets in about ten minutes on the stovetop. Adapted from King Arthur Baking's tested recipe.

Ingredients

227 g unfed sourdough starter (discard)
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 to 1/2 tsp table salt
3/8 tsp baking soda (up to 1/2 tsp if your starter is very sour)
butter (for greasing the rings and griddle)

Instructions

1
Heat a griddle or heavy pan to 300°F (medium-low). Grease four or five 4-inch English muffin rings and the cooking surface with butter.
2
Stir the discard, sugar and salt together, then stir in the baking soda. The batter will foam and rise; use it right away.
3
Set the rings on the griddle and spoon in about 1/4 cup of batter each.
4
Cook until the tops are set and covered in small holes, about 5 minutes.
