Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams buckwheat flour
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 120 grams sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 60 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 15 grams brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- n/a optional toppings (e.g., maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and brown sugar. Whisk until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
Sprinkle the baking soda over the batter and fold it in gently. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it if needed.
Spoon the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly but avoiding overfilling. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 3-5 minutes (depending on your waffle iron).
Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a wire rack to keep it crisp while you prepare the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
