Homemade Sourdough Waffles Recipe

Ingredients

• ½ cup sourdough starter, unfed
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Maple syrup, for serving

Method

1. In a large bowl, add the sourdough starter, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and sugar, and stir to combine.
2. Cover the starter mixture with plastic wrap and allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat a waffle iron and grease it with nonstick spray.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until everything is fully incorporated. If the batter seems too thick, add additional buttermilk.
6. Pour about a ¼ cup of the batter (or the amount specified by the machine's instruction manual) into the preheated waffle maker. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, about 2–4 minutes.
7. Repeat this process with the remaining batter. Serve the warm waffles immediately with maple syrup.
