SOURDOUGH DISCARD WAFFLES
I often feel like the discard from my sourdough starter is wasteful, so I try my best to use it in other ways. One of the best and tastiest ways is to repurpose the discard into waffles. You can make the base of this batter the night before you plan to cook waffles, or just a few hours prior. This is a fantastic weekend breakfast when everyone gets to sleep in!

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 PANCAKE OR WAFFLE BATTER
If you have a sourdough starter, you will need to feed it to keep it alive. Many recipes call for doing so after discarding a cup or so of the starter you have, so as to maintain its equilibrium and prevent it from growing too large. This recipe takes advantage of that excess starter, using it as the base of a pancake or waffle batter that ferments overnight and yields a remarkably flavorful breakfast the next day, with minimal effort.

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.

- Add a little bit of sugar to the batter: This will help to balance out the sourness of the sourdough discard.
- Use real buttermilk: This will give your waffles a richer flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in tough waffles.
- Cook the waffles on a hot waffle iron: This will help to create crispy waffles.
- Serve the waffles immediately: Waffles are best when served fresh and hot.
Conclusion:
Sourdough discard waffles are a delicious and easy way to use up your sourdough discard. They are light and fluffy, with a slightly sour flavor that is balanced out by the sweetness of the sugar and the richness of the buttermilk. These waffles are perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch, and they can be topped with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
