These waffles are so simple to make, so delicious, and another thing you can easily learn to make with your sourdough starter! 🧇
Ingredients:
400 recently fed sourdough starter
2 eggs
50 grams neutral oil (I used coconut oil)
40 grams honey
2.5 grams salt
6 grams baking soda
Mix it all together. Add your sourdough starter, eggs, oil, honey and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk everything together (remember to only add the baking soda last).
Heat up your waffle maker. Preheat your waffle machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the plates with a little neutral oil, only if needed.
Pour and cook. Pour enough batter into your waffle maker to cover the center of the grid without overfilling it. Close the lid and let your waffles cook until golden brown and crispy. Cooking times will depend on your machine, so keep an eye on them!
Resist the urge to peek. Try not to open the waffle maker too early. Give your waffles time to cook properly so they develop that lovely golden crust.
Serve & enjoy! Carefully remove your waffles and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favourite toppings, I’d recommend honey and macadamia nut butter from African Oils
A few little tips:
Add the baking soda last - this reacts with the sourdough starter to help give your waffles a lovely lift.
Don't overfill your waffle maker - the batter will spread as the lid closes, so start with a little less than you think you need.
Freeze them if you have any waffles leftover and enjoy whenever!
