Sourdough Waffles

These waffles are soft and chewy, but rise quite a bit.
Scale: 1
Yields: 4 waffles
Prep Time: 8 hours
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 113 grams unfed sourdough starter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 156 g all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • .25 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. The night before you’re planning on making your waffles, take your sourdough starter out of the fridge and measure into a large bowl. Combine the soymilk and vinegar together separately and let it sit for 5 minutes or so to curdle, and then add it in to the bowl, along with the sugar. Stir well so that the sourdough has “dissolved” into the mixture. Add your flour, stirring just to combine, and loosely cover the bowl. Let rise until bubbly.
  2. Add the oil and salt. Stir to thoroughly incorporate everything, but just don’t go crazy and overdo it. When your waffle iron is ready, lightly spray it with cooking oil and add in as much batter as your machine needs to make a nice waffle.

Notes

  1. If using starter that's being fed for bread, you only need to allow 1.5 to 2 hours for it to rise, rather than "the night before". However, the longer it sits the more sour it will be.
