This is one of the most creative, inventive, and delicious ways to use sourdough starter. Catherine loves it, and you can personalize your own with your favorite herbs, seeds, syrups, and nuts. You can make it sweeter or savory, spicy or tangy. My version is the base on which you can create your very own signature granola. I was shy on the sugar because I like to snack on it throughout the day, and I don’t want to give Catherine too much sugar, but you can absolutely double up the sugar amount.

Sweet Sourdough Crackers
This recipe is so easy! Catherine and I started to make crackers in order not to waste sourdough starter, and the other day we tried to add sugar instead of salt, and the result was marvelous! These are really not that sweet, on purpose. They satisfy the sweet tooth without being cookies, so they are perfect for Catherine and for us, too, when we want to limit sugar but still want dessert. The can be dipped in hot chocolate, or served with ice cream, pastry cream, and whipped cream.
