Lots of steps, but nothing hard. Just a lot of butter.

I have a feeling I'll have a sour dough starter going sooner or later. Mary, Tracy - Thanks. However, even if I cut the recipe in half I'll need to borrow three pans! Maybe this calls for disposable pans (easy to foist on unsuspecting co-workers and friends). Adrienne – Great to know! I have a feeling I’ll have a sour dough starter going sooner or later.

You can apparently freeze them, but I found you need to get them out of the house as soon as possible or risk eating them all yourself.
