Cooking with Crosby Roamann: Sourdough Waffles

A sweet and savory way to use up a lot of that discard from the sourdough starter — this Sourdough Waffle recipe hits every point on the palate and over-delivers for Sunday brunch. We top this with powdered sugar and raspberry jam, or sometimes a bit of Maple Syrup, but they are yummy enough to eat just plain, or with a brush stroke of sweet cream butter, as they come of the griddle. Enjoy!

Ingredients: Overnight starter:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 275g sourdough starter

In the morning:

  • Incorporate all of the overnight sponge with:
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

  • Add flour, sugar, milk and combine with your starter.Β Cover and let rest at room temperature overnight.
  • The next morning, add the melted butter (once cool) and two beaten eggs. Stir. Add the salt, baking soda and vanilla stirring to combine. The batter will bubble.
  • Pour batter onto your preheated, greased waffle iron, and cook to a golden brown (when the waffle griddle light turns green πŸ™‚
