      Biscuits (done right), are buttery, and delicious. I know this doesn't make them appeal to Seul, but a little lard is often the secret to greatness.

        Just saw this Finex stuff at Borough Market, London and was blown away by it… seriously over engineered and stunning design, going to grab a grill pan next time..

              So it's bread for lazy people, basically…

              Biscuits and bread are about as similar as biscotti and cake.

              And biscuits can be just as much work as bread, in my experience.

                Man I don't know the difference between biscotti and cake… On the account that I'm not an 85 year old woman named Esther...

                      A while ago, I knew that I was not going to have time to make sourdough on a regular basis, nor keep the "starter" alive.  So I put it in the fridge to keep it dormant for a "couple of weeks", that was at least 6 months ago.  My little sis is staying with us at the moment and requested that I made sourdough, so we got the starter out, fed it a couple of times and hey presto it fired back into life, here is the very active sponge I made with it overnight.

                        Lard is the secret to greatness. That should be chiseled in marble @sabergirl .  😘 Makes for good fried chicken as well.

                        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                        Well, I have others.

                          I need to find out what any of this means. Intrigued.

                            I'd love to create a starter from your neck of the woods Neph, I bet it would have a completely different character than the Goz Vegas one I grew here….

                              That link is great, thank you. I think that creating a starter up at the cabin might be a winner.

                                            Looks lovely. I learned to bake (with shop bought yeast) for the first time about 6 years ago in rather interesting circumstances (which I may divulge in person). I've now graduated to assorted traditional Norwegian sweetbreads, but never thought about sourbreads until now. I'm looking forward to trying this out.
