Sourdough Waffles Recipe

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour ((180g))
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk or whole milk ((240mL))
• 1 cup sourdough starter (ripe or discard (240g))
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly (56g))

Steps

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sourdough starter, and eggs.

3. 3

   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold together a few times. (There should still be dry spots of flour.) Add the butter and gently stir until combined. (The batter should be lumpy). Set aside for 5 minutes while the waffle iron preheats.

4. 4

   Once ready, grease the waffle iron with more melted butter or nonstick spray. Work in batches to add about ⅓ cup of batter to each waffle section of the iron (or the amount suggested for your particular waffle iron). Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the waffles are golden brown. Place the waffles on a wire rack to cool slightly, or hold warm in a 200°F oven.

5. 5

   Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or fresh berries.
