Sourdough Discard Waffles

 

I have been using my sourdough a lot lately, but last week my starter got tired. I fed it twice and it didn't really rise at all. Troubleshooting, I fed it a more hearty flour, some oat flour I had on hand, and it just took off. I had a lot of starter that needed to be used, so we tried a sourdough waffle recipe. It is a keeper!

If you want your waffles to be more "sour" and fermented you can make the batter the night before (leaving out the baking soda and eggs) and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. Juat add the eggs and baking soda in the morning and cook them up.
