Overnight Sourdough Waffles
These waffles offer a delightful twist with the use of sourdough, making them a unique addition to your breakfast repertoire. The fermentation process not only enhances the flavor but also adds wonderful nutritional benefits to your meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- Optional: vanilla extract for flavor (about 1 teaspoon)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, and milk. Stir until well combined. The mixture will be thick; that’s okay. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature overnight (8-12 hours).
- In the morning, uncover the batter and give it a good stir. It should have risen and may have bubbles on the surface.
- Add the sugar, salt, baking soda, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) to the batter. Fold everything until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your waffles light and airy.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to its instructions. Once heated, lightly grease the iron if necessary. Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron, close, and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Repeat the process until all the batter is used. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings—think maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar!
- Enjoy your scrumptious Overnight Sourdough Waffles with family or friends, and celebrate the joy of a homemade breakfast.
These waffles not only add a unique flavor profile to your breakfast but also provide you with the satisfaction of using sourdough in a delightful way. Try this recipe and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
