Sourdough Discard Waffles
These quick and easy sourdough discard waffles are the perfect breakfast option! Made with sourdough starter discard, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter, these fast sourdough waffles are fully fermented, crispy, and delicious!
Equipment
- 1 waffle maker
- 1 bowl
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups sourdough discard 480 grams
- 4 tbsp butter melted and cooled slightly
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Grease and preheat waffle maker to the highest setting.
- Mix together sourdough starter, vanilla, salt, eggs and melted butter.
- Fold in baking soda. Gently mix until the batter becomes bubbly. Let rest for a few minutes.
- Scoop batter into waffle maker, making sure there is enough to fully fill each quarter of the waffle maker. Cook until desired crispness, about 4-5 minutes.
- Top with fresh fruit, syrup, or whip cream + berries!
Notes
- This waffle batter may seem a bit runny, but when you mix the baking soda in and then let it rest for a few minutes it will thicken up.
- You can sub the butter with 1/4 cup melted coconut or olive oil if needed.
- Fold in the baking soda rather than beating or mixing. Use your spatula to apply many gentle folds, and watch the rising action!
- This recipe yields four full-size waffles. You can double or triple the recipe; create the desired amount by mixing flour, water, and sourdough starter the day prior.
- Give the batter a quick mix before cooking each new waffle to give them more structure.
