Waffles

May 2020

The sourdough waffles require more planning, but are more complex and crispy. In a pinch, the beer waffles capture some of the complexity of the sourdough version without the lengthy preparation.

The sourdough waffles are adapted from King Arthur Flour, and the beer waffles are adapted from Macheesmo.

Sourdough Waffles

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, sugar, buttermilk, and starter. Cover and leave at room temperature overnight. (The sponge should be at maximum height in the morning. If it’s started to fall, the waffles will be more sour. Adjust the fermentation temperature and the volume of the starter inoculation as necessary.)
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, butter or oil, and vanilla. Gently mix into the sponge.
  3. Add the salt, baking soda, and baking powder. The batter should bubble.
