#1California Chick :

This morning I used my sourdough starter to make Sourdough Oatmeal Waffels. Delicious!!

Cindy

Here is the recipe: I usually do step 1 at night, then it just takes a few minutes to make pancakes/waffles in the morning!! (plus you get some more sourdough time!!!)

SOURDOUGH OATMEAL PANCAKES & WAFFLES

1 Cup regular or quick-cooking oatmeal rolled oats
1 Cup all purpose flour or whole wheat flour
½ Cup sourdough starter, at room temperature
2 Cups lukewarm buttermilk (about 90 degrees)

2 Large eggs
¼ Cup EACH milk and salad oil
2 T sugar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt

1. Combine oats, flour, sourdough starter and buttermilk in a medium size bowl (allow room for rising); stir until blended. Cover with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temp for 45 minutes or refrigerate until next day.

2. Combine eggs, milk and oil in a large bowl. Add buttermilk mixture and stir until blended. Stir in sugar, baking soda and salt. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

FOR PANCAKES: Drop batter by spoonfuls onto a moderately hot greased griddle or wide frying pan. Cook until tops are bubbly and appear dry; turn and cook until other sides are browned. Makes about 2 dozen 4-inch pancakes.

FOR WAFFLES: Bake in a pre-heated electric waffle iron (greased if required), waffles should be richly browned. If made ahead, wrap airtight and freeze; reheat frozen waffles in a toaster. Makes about 12 4-inch waffles.


Enjoy!!!

The kids and I baked these this afternoon...

Pecan Snowballs

4 sticks butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups finely ground pecans
6 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
4 cups all purpose flour
confectioner's sugar


Preheat oven to 325*. Mix 1st 5 ingredients well. Form into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes until cookies turn lightly brown. Remove from oven; cool for 5 minutes. Roll each cookie in confectioner's sugar. When cool, roll again until well coated. If cookies break up while rolling in sugar, cool for another 5 minutes. Makes about 100 cookies.


YUMMY!

I haven't made fudge for years because previously when I tried it (several times- years ago) we had to eat it with a spoon. Kids don't care but not good for company!

Thanks Cindy! This looks seriously delicious. Sorry I can't help with more sourdough recipes, I haven't even ordered my starter yet. I'm new to this but can't wait to try it (after the holiday crush that is). Thanks again, Sunny​

Today I made cocoa/toffee sandwich cookies (filled with a sort of stiff ganache). Rice krispy treats (I know but i still love them and include them in cookie gift baskets), also finished up my pistachio caramels by dipping them in rich dark chocolate (love the milk chocolate but I made these with extra vanilla and the dark chocolate sets off the strong vanilla flavor so well). Then I packaged up my first large cookie basket for my DH's office with the mint merengue kisses, angel lace cookies, almond brittle w/coconut, the chocolate/toffe sandwich cookies, pineapple cookies, dark choc pistachio caramels, rice krispy treats (2/3 reg and 1/3 cocoa krispies) and brownies.
