SAM'S SOURDOUGH WAFFLES

Steps:

• Mix flour, 1 1/2 cup water, and sourdough starter together in a large bowl to make batter. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until filled with large holes and bubbles, 4 hours to overnight.
• Stir oil, eggs, sugar, and salt into the batter; mix well to combine.
• Whisk 1 tablespoon water and baking soda together in a small bowl until dissolved. Fold into the batter with a rubber spatula.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Pour batter onto preheated iron and bake until crisp and golden, according to manufacturer's instructions, about 3 minutes.

SOURDOUGH PANCAKE OR WAFFLE BATTER

Steps:

• Put the sourdough starter in a large bowl and add the buttermilk, flour and sugar, then stir to combine. Cover the bowl and allow it to rest overnight at room temperature.
• When you are ready to cook, whisk the egg, melted butter or oil and the vanilla extract together in a small bowl, then add the rested sponge. Add the salt and the baking soda to the batter and mix to combine.
• Pour some of the batter onto a preheated greased waffle iron and cook until the waffle is brown and crisp, then repeat. Or use a small ladle to create pancakes on a preheated oiled pan or griddle, flipping them when they are well browned on the bottom. Serve immediately.

SOURDOUGH PANCAKES

Steps:

• The night before, stir your sourdough starter and remove one cup.
• Place the 1 cup of starter in a glass or stoneware bowl at least 6 cups in size (don't use plastic or metal bowls for this- they give off flavors to the batter).
• Stir in the 2 cups of tepid water, the flour, and the sugar until smooth.
• Cover lightly (you can use plastic wrap but don't seal off the air going into the bowl) and place in a non-drafty place and allow to sit overnight.
• The next morning, remove one cup of the batter and pour it back into the mother starter (what you removed this from in the first place; you should keep this refrigerated).
• Start to heat your griddle (heat to 370F), oiling it lightly if needed.
• Stir the egg, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and melted butter into the batter.
• Drop by 1/4-cupfuls onto the hot griddle and flip them with a spatula when they bubble and get golden on the underside.
• Keep pancakes warm while finishing the others.
• Serve pancakes hot with butter and syrup, if desired.
• You can also easily make blueberry pancakes with this; just dust them with a little flour before folding into the pancake batter.

SOURDOUGH BELGIAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sourdough, oil, milk and eggs.
• Add flour, then sprinkle baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar over the flour. Stir together the wet and dry ingredients just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Add flour if necessary to thicken, or milk to thin. Do not over-mix!
• Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter on the waffle iron. Cook until golden brown.

SOURDOUGH DISCARD WAFFLES

Steps:

• Turn on your waffle maker so it can heat up. Preheat oven to 200F and place an oven-safe plate inside. Put cooked waffles on the plate to keep warm while you're working.
• In a large bowl, combine the sourdough discard, milk, sugar, eggs and melted butter. Mix well. Make sure that your melted butter is warm, not hot before adding it to the bowl.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and kosher salt. Mix briefly.
• Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until there are no large lumps or bits of dry batter visible.
• Spoon batter into your waffle maker. How much batter you use will depend upon the size of your waffle maker. In my regular American waffle maker, I use about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle. In my deep Belgian waffle maker, which makes thicker/larger waffles, I use about 3/4 cup of batter per waffle.
• Cook time will also depend on your waffle maker and how much batter you are cooking at once. In my American waffle maker, these are ready in about 2 minutes. In my Belgian waffle maker, they are ready in 3 minutes.
• Serve with your favorite toppings.

SOURDOUGH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix first three ingredients into a large non-metallic bowl and beat until smooth. Cover loosely with a damp towel/dishrag and let stand in a warm place for 8 to 18 hours.
• Mix batter down. Add remaining ingredients and stir until smooth.
• Cook on a lightly greased preheated griddle or skillet at 400°F.
• Serve with maple or berry syrup, or toss an fried egg on 'em.

SOURDOUGH WAFFLES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat your waffle iron to medium or dark and preheat your oven to 200 F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, milk, and eggs until completely incorporated.
• In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Add the melted butter and mix until just incorporated.
• Ladle onto the preheated waffle iron. Cook for approximately 4 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Times will vary depending on your specific waffle iron.
• Keep the first waffles warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the batter. When all of the waffles are done, remove from oven and serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and heat before serving.
