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!

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.

Tips:

  • Make sure your sourdough discard is active. If it's not, your waffles won't rise properly.
  • If your sourdough discard is too thick, thin it out with water or milk. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the waffles tough.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten to relax and the flavors to develop.
  • Cook the waffles on a hot waffle iron. This will help them to crisp up and brown evenly.
  • Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Sourdough discard waffles are a delicious and easy way to use up leftover sourdough starter. They're light, fluffy, and have a slightly tangy flavor. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a stack of hot, fresh waffles that the whole family will love. So next time you have some sourdough discard, don't throw it away! Use it to make these delicious waffles instead.
