SOURDOUGH WAFFLES



Sourdough Waffles image

This recipe requires your sourdough starter to be fed on a 12-hour schedule. If you usually refresh every 24 hours, simply begin feeding your starter every 12 hours two days in advance. Once you reach the fourth feeding, you can start making waffles from your discard. Similarly, if you typically keep your starter in the fridge, bring it to room temperature and feed every 12 hours for 3 days before waffling up.

Time 9h

Yield 4 Belgian waffles

Number Of Ingredients 13

125 grams discarded Sourdough Starter (unfed), recipe follows
1 cup whole milk
170 grams unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 large egg, separated
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Nonstick spray
125 grams all-purpose, unbleached flour
125 grams filtered water, room temperature
100 grams all-purpose, unbleached flour
100 grams filtered water, room temperature

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.

SOURDOUGH WAFFLE OR PANCAKE BATTER



Sourdough Waffle or Pancake Batter image

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.

Time 8h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sourdough bread, discard
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Step 1:.
  • 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.
  • Step 2: 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.
  • Step 3: Pour some of the batter onto a preheated greased waffle iron (careful not to overfill - the batter expands quite a bit) 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.
  • Tip: If you make waffles in a mini waffle iron, you can freeze them and heat them in the toaster until crispy.

  • Leftover sourdough pancake or waffle batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
