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

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, milk, eggs, melted butter (or oil), vanilla and sugar. Whisk well until evenly combined.
  2. 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.
  3. Spray a waffle iron with cooking spray if it is not nonstick. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  4. 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).
  5. Open the waffle iron, remove the waffle to a wire rack, then continue with the rest of the batter.
  6. 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.
