I created this recipe to inspire you on how you can turn your bread starter leftover into something delicious and nutritious. Whenever coming up with recipes of fried starter, you need to consider the sourness of your starter and try to counter it with something sweet or spicy. For this recipe, I used a 32 hours-old starter that was quite sour. The added basil did a great job of balancing out this flavor.

I divided the results into eight pieces that work amazingly well for me as cycling or hiking snacks. In essence, they’re easy to carry and deliver some needed amount of carbs while performing sports. The sourness of the starter adds some extended shelf-life that I appreciate. Enjoy!
