Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for sweeter waffles)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed or fed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil

Toppings (Optional)

  • Fresh fruits (berries, bananas, etc.)
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate chips or nuts

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the sourdough discard, egg, milk, and melted butter or oil until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender and fluffy.
  5. Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron based on your device’s size. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately. Top with fresh fruits, maple syrup or honey, whipped cream, and optionally sprinkle chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure light and fluffy waffles.
  • You can substitute plant-based milk to make the waffles dairy-free.
  • If you prefer vegan waffles, substitute the egg with a flax or chia egg and use oil instead of butter.
  • For crispier waffles, allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack instead of stacking directly.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your waffle iron’s instructions and power.
