These easy sourdough waffles are on our menu weekly.
Well, make that more than once a week. The kids eat them for breakfast at least twice and then we normally make them for Saturday lunch as well.
Not only are they easy, these are the best sourdough waffles!
I recently delved into the vast world of sourdough. Wow, so much information and so much science. It’s fascinating. I don’t have the brain power (or energy) to be an expert sourdough maker but thanks to a starter my brother-in-law gave me I’m enjoying switching some of my regulars over to natural yeast.
If you don’t have a brother-in-law quite as impressive as mine š ,Ā (affiliateĀ linkĀ coming)Ā there are sourdough starters you can purchase onĀ Amazon!Ā You really can find everything there.
Besides these easy sourdough waffles, we also make sourdough sandwich bread and pizza dough weekly.
Because I’m not an expert, I’m not going to give you advice on starting or maintaining your starter, but I’m going to work on a post of my go to resources!
I use recently fed sourdough in this recipe. I mix it up in the evening and the sourdough was fed that morning up to 3-4 hours prior.
Easy Sourdough Waffles (aka The Best Sourdough Waffles)
EquipmentĀ Used (affiliate links):
- 1 cup sourdough starter (fed that day)
- 1½ cups unbleached white flour

- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 eggs, beaten

- The next day preheat waffle iron.

- Stir with a fork until combined.

If making waffles for lunch I still start them the night before. If I am making waffles for supper, I start the process in the morning.
Yummy! š

So easy to make and yummy to eat! I started the night before and woke up to very a active and bubbly starter mixture! My Belgium iron made 5 waffles.
