I had never been satisfied with the waffles that I had made, I had only tried non-sourdough waffles previously and I thought people must just like the novelty of waffles!

Yield 4-8 waffles, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup butter
1 cup milk
1 cup active white sourdough starter
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Heat butter and milk in a pan until the butter is melted and then let cool to room temperature.

  • Pour 1/3 to 3/4 cups of batter on the hot waffle iron and close the lid. Let cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

SOURDOUGH DISCARD WAFFLES



Sourdough Discard Waffles image

I often feel like the discard from my sourdough starter is wasteful, so I try my best to use it in other ways. One of the best and tastiest ways is to repurpose the discard into waffles. You can make the base of this batter the night before you plan to cook waffles, or just a few hours prior. This is a fantastic weekend breakfast when everyone gets to sleep in!

Categories     Sourdough     Waffle     Breakfast     Cinnamon

Yield 4 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cinnamon sugar:
1⁄4 cup (50 g) sugar
1 tsp (3 g) cinnamon
Waffles:
1⁄2 cup (120 g) leftover starter
1 cup (240 ml) milk, whole or 2%
3 tbsp (42 g) unsalted butter, melted, divided
1 large egg
1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp (12 g) sugar
2 tsp (10 g) baking powder
1⁄2 tsp fine sea salt
Cooking spray, for coating
Toppings:
1 cup (165 g) cubed pineapple
Handful of mixed seasonal berries
1⁄4 cup (30 g) coconut flakes
Maple syrup, to serve

Steps:

  • Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl.
  • Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add the leftover starter, milk, 2 tablespoons (28 g) of melted butter, and egg into a large bowl. Whisk well to combine. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and continue to whisk until smooth. If the batter seems too thick, add more milk to thin out the texture. This will all depend on the consistency of your sourdough starter.
  • Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray. Ladle some of the batter into the waffle iron to fill the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Transfer to a cutting board and brush lightly with some of the remaining melted butter. Press the waffle into the cinnamon sugar to coat on both sides. Repeat to cook the rest of the waffles.
  • To serve, top your waffles with the pineapple, mixed berries, and coconut flakes. Enjoy with sweet maple syrup on the side.
  • TIP: Once completely cool, these waffles can be frozen for up to 2 months. Cover in plastic wrap and a layer of foil before freezing. Bake frozen at 350°F (180°C) until warmed through.

Provided by Jen in Victoria

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 waffles, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup milk
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, separated
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200°F and heat the waffle iron.
  • Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  • Measure the buttermilk, milk, and vegetable oil in a Pyrex measuring cup; mix in the egg yolk and set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg white almost to soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until the peaks are firm and glossy. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed.
  • Drop the whipped egg white onto the batter in dollops and fold in with a spatula until just incorporated.
  • Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until the waffle is crisp and nutty brown (follow the manufacturer's instructions for timing at first and then adjust to your liking).
  • Set the waffle directly on the oven rack to keep it warm and crisp.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, holding the waffles in the oven (don't stack them).

Tips:

  • Use a sourdough starter that is active and bubbly. This will help ensure that your waffles are light and fluffy.
  • Make sure your waffle iron is hot before you start cooking. This will help prevent the waffles from sticking.
  • Pour the batter onto the waffle iron in a circular motion. This will help create even waffles.
  • Cook the waffles until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked all the way through.
  • Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Sourdough waffles are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast option. They are light, fluffy, and full of flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sourdough waffles every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty breakfast, give sourdough waffles a try!
