Description
Delicious and fluffy waffles made with sourdough starter for a unique flavor and texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard (at room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups 2% milk (at room temperature)
- 2 large eggs, beaten (at room temperature)
- 1/4 cup melted salted butter (or vegetable oil)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, milk, eggs, melted butter (or oil), vanilla and sugar. Whisk well until evenly combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir well just until combined. It’s ok if there are a couple of lumps in the batter. It’s important not to overmix. Allow the waffle batter to rest for 15 minutes.
- Spray a waffle iron with cooking spray if it is not nonstick. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Ladle 3/4 cup to 1 cup of batter on the hot griddle (depending on the size of the waffle maker). Close and allow the waffles to cook through (our waffle maker takes 2 minutes and 15 seconds, but all are slightly different and should have an indicator light).
- Open the waffle iron, remove the waffle to a wire rack, then continue with the rest of the batter.
- Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.
Notes
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Resting the batter is key to achieving light and fluffy waffles.
