Well Ann, after I watched your vid last night energetically motivated me to take my starter out of the fridge & fed it, then took a bit out for overnight & put main starter back in the fridge after an hour for spelt pancakes the next day* Although 1st time, it turned out superb🥰 I only added 2 tbsp of starter with approx 1 c of flour, vanilla, cinnamon, 2 med farm eggs, approx 1/2 tsp baking soda, 2 tbsp of wild saskatoon jam with 2 grinds of himalayan & sprinkle of quality iodized sea salt (the one that has no junk in it) & voila* 😋 Thank you, much appreciated💜
thanks for this very informative and helpful video - I almost threw out my starter as the water started to separate beneath the surface - have a blessed day!
My recent purchase of spelt starter is 40 years old & do not understand why starter is discarded? I have about 2cups & want to keep it going* Please explain for I am a confused newbie... Really enjoyed & learned from your step by step instructions that I really appreciate🥰
You don't have to throw it away. You can use it in pancakes and similar items. Lots of recipes online. The reason to discard is that starter is alive and must keep growing to be effective. Does that make sense?
@@wellnessmadesimple1048 Yes it does, but rather than wasting it by throwing it in compost like some advise🤔 why not bake or make pancakes is where I'm coming from*
I apologize that I somehow missed this question. Most good health food stores sell it as well as many online stores. It is becoming more and more common in the marketplace. I get mine from a local milling company.
Hi, Alynn - I'm sorry that I am just seeing this now. How is it doing? Starters can come back from almost anything if you just start the feeding cycle again.
Wellness made simple? This is the most over-involved, over-complicated demonstration of keeping sourdough starter I've ever seen. You are going to scare people with this. It's much more simple than you make it appear with all those bowl and whatnot.
Charles - you are a rude and ignorant old man!! I feel sorry for people like you. They say ignorance is bliss, and for you it must be, but for the rest of us that have to put up with people like you it's boring. Charles you are a bore.

@@Joy-ym3mx sorry that I wasn't clear. "discard" simply means to remove it from your fermenting container to allow what's left to continue to grow
@@wellnessmadesimple1048 Thanx for clarifying
Did your sourdough starter smell like acetone before feeding it
Where can I buy spelt flour?

Bulk food stores sell organic spelt in the large bibs,,,you scoop out what you need and bag it:)
I recently made my first starter and I didn't know that I was supposed to refrigerate it. Now it's distressed and I hope I can bring it back.
