SOURDOUGH WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine the starter, milk and flour in a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Rest for 8 hours at room temperature, until the batter is light, full of bubbles, and roughly doubled in size. (If you'd like to make these for breakfast, you can refrigerate the batter overnight after this 8-hour rest.)
• Stir the egg yolk, butter, sugar and salt into the starter mixture until just combined and set aside.
• Beat the egg white and cream of tartar with a hand mixer on high until stiff peaks form, about 1 to 2 minutes, then fold the egg white into the batter using as few folds as possible to keep it from deflating (see Cook's Note). Rest the batter at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Heat a Belgian waffle iron on medium heat. When hot, lightly coat both plates with nonstick spray. Ladle the recommended amount of waffle batter onto the iron according to the manufacturer's recommendations and cook until crisp and golden brown. Serve immediately or cool on a rack and wrap in plastic wrap followed by foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
• To begin: Mix together 125 grams flour and 125 grams water with a clean hand in a medium glass bowl. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let sit undisturbed at room temperature until the mixture is full of bubbles and has nearly doubled in size, usually 2 to 3 days. During this time, yeasts and bacteria from the air and from the flour and probably from you will set up housekeeping in the bowl (see Cook's Note).
• For daily feeding: Peel back any crust that may have formed and transfer 20% of the culture (50 grams) to a clean, wide-mouthed jar. Stir in 100 grams flour and 100 grams water, loosely screw on the lid and stash at room temperature for 24 hours. (The culture will have a stinky-sour smell at this point.) Discard the rest of the original mixture.
• Repeat step 2 every 24 hours for 5 days. By then the culture should smell yeasty-sweet-sour, which means you're ready to put the starter to work. The waffles are to be made with the discarded percentage of starter.

CORNMEAL SOURDOUGH WAFFLES

Steps:

• Before going to bed, put 1/2 cup starter in a large mixing bowl, stir in 2 cups buttermilk, sugar, white and wheat flour; mix well and cover with cloth.
• Next morning, while waffle iron is preheating, beat egg whites until stiff.
• Lightly beat egg yolks and add to starter mixture, stir in cornmeal, butter, soda, salt, vanilla and cinnamon if using; add additional buttermilk if batter seems to stiff.
• Fold in beaten egg whites and bake in waffle iron as per manufactures directions.
• Place on wire racks to cool completely before packaging and freezing.
• To reheat, toast in toaster oven to desired degree of crispness.
• Please note that the cook time does not reflect the overnight proofing of the batter.

GRANDMA'S SOURDOUGH WAFFLES

Steps:

• The night before you want your waffles, mix the flour, yeast, and lukewarm water.
• Put in tall bowl, as it will rise quite a bit.
• Cover with towel and let sit in room temperature overnight.
• In the morning, uncover and stir.
• Don't be put off by the texture. It is supposed to look weird. Really.
• Add the eggs and oil/milk, enough to make it thin enough to use.
• It might be a little tough to make it all mix together, because it tends to be a bit sticky, but keep at it.
• Usually helps if you've mixed the eggs a little in a separate bowl, so you're not dealing with a whole yolk.
• In small, separate bowl combine baking soda and sugar. Mix until no lumps.
• Add to soda & sugar mixture to bowl with waffle dough.
• Stir until mixed in.
• Let sit about fifteen minutes. (A good time to start preheating your waffle iron.)
• Spray waffle iron with cooking spray. You'll need to repeat this occasionally as the spray wears off.
• Experiment with amounts of waffle dough to put in the iron and times. For us, we use a ladle and cook each waffle for 3-5 minutes. Those sizes and times work perfectly for us, but I'm sure waffle irons vary in size and cooking times.
• You can get creative with adding other ingredients. I haven't tried any of these yet, but I've heard adding crumbled bacon, blueberries, grated apples, etc. to the mix before making the waffles works well.
• For us, the recipe usually yields 8-9 waffles, enough for 3-4 people. It might differ for your waffle iron.
