Description

Sourdough waffles are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite, boasting a tangy flavor and a wonderfully light, airy texture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter, unfed and at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing waffle iron

Instructions

Step 1:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, milk, melted butter or oil, and sugar.
  • Stir until well combined.Add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the batter. Mix until incorporated.

Step 2:

  • Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in the batter mixture and the whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl.
  • Beat the egg whites with a whisk or electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 3:

  • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the egg whites and result in less fluffy waffles.
  • Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle plates with cooking spray or butter.

Step 4:

  • Pour enough batter onto the preheated waffle iron to cover the waffle plates, being careful not to overfill.
  • Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles according to manufacturer’s instructions, or until golden brown and crisp.
  • Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the waffle iron and serve immediately, or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or grated citrus zest to the batter.
  • If you prefer a sweeter waffle, increase the sugar to your liking.
  • Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven until warmed through.
