HERMAN SOURDOUGH STARTER



Herman Sourdough Starter image

This is a recipe for a sweet sourdough starter known as Herman. There are a number of things that can be made from it. It's very important to NOT use metal utensils or bowls! It will take 15 days for the starter to mature and be ready to use the first time you make it. After that it can be ready for use every 10 days.

HERMAN STARTER

This is a recipe for the yeast starter affectionately called "Herman." It's kept in your fridge and fed every five days. I'll be entering more recipes for Herman as time permits, so come back and search every once in a while!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 5m

Yield 1 bowl of starter, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • combine all ingredients to a smooth batter in a 2-quart glass or ceramic container (no metal). Cover with cheesecloth or other loose covering, and keep in a warm place (around 80 degrees F) for 3 to 4 days to ferment. It should expand and bubble. When ready it should have a yeasty, slightly sour smell.
  • At this point, this is Herman's "First Day" in the ten-day cycle of Herman Life. He's ready for his first feeding.
  • Feeding Herman: Mix together 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir this into Herman, cover loosely, and place in the fridge. It will be lumpy. Stir daily (but if you forget a day, he'll be fine).
  • In five days, you'll need to feed him again. (Day 5).
  • In five more days (Day 10), you'll feed him again and/or use him to make something. Pay attention to the specific recipe to see whether you feed him just before making the item or afterwards.
  • Herman can be used for biscuits, coffeecake, pancakes, cookies, banana bread, sweet rolls, and more. I believe the recipes I have have been handed down from one Herman owner to another for decades. Hope you enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will result in the best flavor and texture for your pan biscuits.
  • Make sure your butter is cold. This will help to create flaky layers in your biscuits.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make your biscuits tough.
  • Let the dough rest before baking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in a more tender biscuit.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Serve the biscuits warm. Pan biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Herman's Starter Pan Biscuits are a classic Southern recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
