Thanks sunflour! They were good...now we are all stuffed! I haven't made waffles in forever. I have one of those flipping waffle makers like the motels do but it's like new. How do you make sourdough waffles?
Looks like I never posted the recipe, just a link? Here's the recipe from KA's site. Love to use the discard from a starter and not just trash it out.
I have an old fashioned square waffle/grilling appliance - but love those flipping ones - wonder if the waffles cook faster on those? Mine take about 5 minutes each to cook.
High-Fiber Sourdough Waffles
When you have sourdough starter to feed and take care of, and don't have time to make bread, waffles are the answer. This batter also makes great pancakes.
Sponge
1 cup (4 1/4 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 cup (4 ounces) King Arthur 100% White Whole Wheat Flour (or use entirely all-purpose flour)
1/2 cup (2 1/4 ounces) Hi-maize Fiber; or substitute 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons (7/8 ounce) sugar
2 cups (16 ounces) lukewarm buttermilk
1 cup (8 ounces) sourdough starter*
Batter
All of the prepared sponge (above)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (2 ounces) melted butter or vegetable oil (1 3/4 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
*Not yet fed; just as it comes from the fridge.
To make the sponge: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour(s), Hi-maize, sugar, buttermilk, and starter, stirring just to combine. Cover loosely and let rest at room temperature overnight. (Feed the "mother" starter as you usually do, using 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup water.)
To make the batter: Beat together the eggs, butter or oil, salt, and baking soda. Blend this into the sponge. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup batter into your greased, heated waffle iron, Belgian or standard. Cook waffles as directed for your iron, till brown and crisp. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
Yield: about eight 6" waffles.
