Provided by Rustic Family Recipes

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sourdough starter or discard
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons melted butter (warm, not hot)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs (or 3 medium sized eggs)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Toppings: maple syrup, whipped cream, butter, jam, berries, etc.

Steps:

  • Turn on your waffle maker so it can heat up. Preheat oven to 200F and place an oven-safe plate inside. Put cooked waffles on the plate to keep warm while you're working.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sourdough discard, milk, sugar, eggs and melted butter. Mix well. Make sure that your melted butter is warm, not hot before adding it to the bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and kosher salt. Mix briefly.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until there are no large lumps or bits of dry batter visible.
  • Spoon batter into your waffle maker. How much batter you use will depend upon the size of your waffle maker. In my regular American waffle maker, I use about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle. In my deep Belgian waffle maker, which makes thicker/larger waffles, I use about 3/4 cup of batter per waffle.
  • Cook time will also depend on your waffle maker and how much batter you are cooking at once. In my American waffle maker, these are ready in about 2 minutes. In my Belgian waffle maker, they are ready in 3 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings.

GRANDMA'S SOURDOUGH WAFFLES



Grandma's Sourdough Waffles image

When we were kids, my grandmother used to make this waffle recipe for us every time we would visit. I loved these waffles, but no matter which restaurants I visited I could never find any I liked as well. I recently bought a waffle iron, and my grandmother sent me the recipe. It tastes best, of course, with real maple syrup. Just a warning: this recipe must be started the night before. I've found, in my own experience, that the taste is stronger if you let it sit for 10-10.5 hours instead of, say, 7.5-8 hours. (I've tried it both ways.) We like it stronger. Note: Down below I included the overnight time under "cooking" since it is considered passive work time. The waffles do NOT cook for that long, of course! Enjoy!

Time 8h15m

Yield 8-9 waffles, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups white flour
1 package dry yeast (1/4 oz. OR 2.25 tsp., depending on your system of measuring)
2 1/2 cups lukewarm water
2 eggs
2 tablespoons oil or 2 tablespoons milk (I like milk)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
nonstick cooking spray
butter or margarine (for serving)
syrup (for serving)

Steps:

  • The night before you want your waffles, mix the flour, yeast, and lukewarm water.
  • Put in tall bowl, as it will rise quite a bit.
  • Cover with towel and let sit in room temperature overnight.
  • In the morning, uncover and stir.
  • Don't be put off by the texture. It is supposed to look weird. Really.
  • Add the eggs and oil/milk, enough to make it thin enough to use.
  • It might be a little tough to make it all mix together, because it tends to be a bit sticky, but keep at it.
  • Usually helps if you've mixed the eggs a little in a separate bowl, so you're not dealing with a whole yolk.
  • In small, separate bowl combine baking soda and sugar. Mix until no lumps.
  • Add to soda & sugar mixture to bowl with waffle dough.
  • Stir until mixed in.
  • Let sit about fifteen minutes. (A good time to start preheating your waffle iron.)
  • Spray waffle iron with cooking spray. You'll need to repeat this occasionally as the spray wears off.
  • Experiment with amounts of waffle dough to put in the iron and times. For us, we use a ladle and cook each waffle for 3-5 minutes. Those sizes and times work perfectly for us, but I'm sure waffle irons vary in size and cooking times.
  • You can get creative with adding other ingredients. I haven't tried any of these yet, but I've heard adding crumbled bacon, blueberries, grated apples, etc. to the mix before making the waffles works well.
  • For us, the recipe usually yields 8-9 waffles, enough for 3-4 people. It might differ for your waffle iron.

GRANDMA B'S SUPER WAFFLES



Grandma B's Super Waffles image

This was my grandma's favorite waffle recipe. It has become a family favorite enjoyed on special occasions not only by her grandchildren but great-great grandchildren as well. The clipping is yellow with age clipped I suspect from the local daily paper many many years ago.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sour milk (note below) or 2 cups buttermilk (note below)
4 eggs, well beaten
3/4 cup melted margarine (I use margarine or butter) or 3/4 cup salad oil (I use margarine or butter)

Steps:

  • note: if you do not have sour milk or buttermilk measure 2 tablespoons vinegar into your 2-cup measuring cup and fill to the two-cup mark with sweet milk and let it stand while you prepare other ingredients.
  • Sift together: 2 cups all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Combine: 2 cups sour milk or butter milk 4 eggs well beaten Add the milk and eggs to dry ingredients,beat until smooth with a hand mixer or electric mixer on high speed.
  • Stir in 3/4 cup melted margarine or salad oil.
  • Bake in preheated waffle iron until crisp and golden. For large maker 2 cups for small maker 1 cup batter.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality sourdough starter. This will ensure that your waffles are light and fluffy.
  • Make sure your starter is active before using it. This means that it should be bubbly and have a slightly sour smell.
  • If you don't have a sourdough starter, you can make one using the instructions in the recipe.
  • Let your waffle batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flavors to develop and the batter to thicken.
  • Cook your waffles on a hot waffle iron. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Serve your waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Sourdough waffles are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion brunch. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a stack of fluffy, golden waffles that will be sure to please everyone at the table.
