There should be a hyperlink for sourdough starter. -
What is a sourdough starter? I don't know. Is it something like the Amish bread starter? I would love to Ryan this recipe. -
Was finished baking in less than 15. They would have been way over baked at 25 to 30.<br/>Flavor was good but nothing exciting. They need more bacon and more cheese. Some of the sugar could go away as well. I would bake them on 375. -
These were delicious this a.m. with eggs for brunch. As with Gayla, I too added a touch more milk than the recipe called for. Also, I decreased the sugar to 2 tablespoons which was perfect. Next time I will try adding a pinch of cayenne for a little kick. I got a yield of 12 well rounded muffins. -
Delicious! They are great with soup, so I'm sure I'll be making them often through the winter. The only thing I did differently was add extra milk, as the batter was a bit too dry. I would expect to make adjustments such as this, though, when using sourdough, as the wetness of starters can vary widely. The recipe yielded 10 muffins for me. Thanks for sharing!
