What unexpected cross-application is suggested for a highly active sourdough starter in another dish?
Answer
Folding it into pancake or waffle batter.
Although primarily functioning as a leavening agent for bread dough, the tangy compounds developed within a highly active sourdough starter can be creatively utilized in other recipes. The text suggests folding the active culture into batter intended for pancakes or waffles. In this application, the starter acts as a functional leavening agent, similar to baking powder, while simultaneously introducing a desirable depth of flavor complexity that wouldn't otherwise be present in those items.
