Sourdough Oatmeal Muffins

1 1/2 cups unsifted flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup cultured buttermilk
3/4 cup sourdough starter

In a bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, oats, salt and baking soda. Make a well in the center.

Blend egg, milk and oil together; stir in starter. Pour this mixture all at once into the flour well. Stir just to moisten ingredients, with about 12 to 15 full circular strokes that scrape the bottom of the bowl; batter will be a little lumpy.

Grease muffin cups or use paper liners. Fill about 2/3 full. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes.

Makes 12 to 15 muffins.
