Sourdough Waffles Recipe
Description
Sourdough Waffles Recipe uses common waffle ingredients blended with a sourdough starter, which adds a mild tang and complexity to the flavor. The dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Wet ingredients combine beaten eggs, milk, and the starter, which when mixed with the dry ingredients and melted butter produce a batter that resembles pancake batter. Cooking in a preheated waffle iron yields waffles with a crisp exterior and tender inside. The sourdough starter not only flavors the waffles but also contributes to their structure and texture.
The waffles can be served as a breakfast or brunch item topped in various ways based on preference, such as simple powdered sugar or a more filling combination like Greek yogurt and berries. Adjusting the batter with extra flour or milk can help achieve the proper consistency before cooking. This recipe provides a different take on waffles by integrating sourdough starter to subtly deepen the flavor profile without requiring extended fermentation times.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 cup milk plus more as needed
- 6 to 8 ounces sourdough starter
- 3 tablespoons butter melted and cooled, unsalted
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, then whisk in the sourdough starter until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and melted butter, stirring until you achieve a batter with the consistency of pancake batter. You can adjust with additional flour or milk if necessary.
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it if needed.
- Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the waffles should be golden brown and crisp.
- Add your favorite toppings. I go with powdered sugar when I feel decadent or Greek yogurt and blackberries to feel less guilty.
