Description
Sourdough Waffles are a tangy and fluffy breakfast treat made with sourdough starter. These waffles have a slightly crisp exterior, a light and airy interior, and a unique flavor profile that pairs perfectly with syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter (fed or unfed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
- Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, using the amount recommended by your specific waffle iron model, and cook according to its instructions until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
- If using an unfed sourdough starter, the flavor may be slightly stronger. Adjust sweetness or toppings as needed.
- This recipe can be doubled to make more waffles. Leftover waffles can be frozen for future breakfasts.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
