Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Sourdough starter (discard or active)
- 240 ml Whole milk
- 160 g All-purpose flour
- 30 g Granulated sugar
- 60 g Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Large eggs
- 1.5 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or melted butter (for the waffle iron)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, whole milk, and melted butter until well combined.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Avoid overmixing.
Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
Once the waffle iron is hot, pour an appropriate amount of batter into the iron, spreading it evenly to cover the surface (but be sure not to overfill).
Close the lid and cook the waffles according to the waffle iron manufacturer’s instructions, typically 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the sourdough Belgian waffles warm with toppings of your choice such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
