Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Sourdough starter (active or discard)
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 240 milliliters Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 15 grams Granulated sugar
- 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
- 2 grams Baking soda
- 1 gram Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, and milk. Stir until smooth and let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate the flour.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the sourdough mixture and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt evenly over the batter and fold gently to incorporate. The batter will start to bubble slightly as the baking soda reacts with the sourdough's natural acidity.
Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it if required.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (depending on your waffle maker’s capacity). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.
