Sourdough Waffles
I first decided to make Sourdough Waffles as a way to meet two needs. I was craving waffles, and I wanted a way to use the sourdough discard left from feeding my sourdough starter. Throwing away the discard every day feels wasteful, so I try to find ways to use it when possible. It worked for the waffles, but I found that letting the batter set overnight better develops the flavor. You can make it either way. If you want to let it set, use one day's discard to make the batter and make the waffles the next day. I prefer to make the batter early in the day and leave it in the refrigerator until the next day. It works great. I like to serve them with fresh fruit and just a touch of maple syrup. I bought a mini-waffle maker to make mine because I wasn't sure how committed I was to making waffles and didn't want to invest in an expensive waffle maker until I was. Using the mini-waffle maker takes a long time, but I probably won't replace it for a while because waffles are a treat not a staple.
