Grandma Jean Sourdough Waffles Recipes

LIGHT AND CRISP SOURDOUGH WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat butter and milk in a pan until the butter is melted and then let cool to room temperature.
• Add the milk-butter mixture to the starter, salt, sugar and flour in a large mixing bowl (this needs to be at least double the capacity of the batter). Mix these together to form a thick batter.
• Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 8-14 hours. If you do this before going to bed, you'll have the batter ready for breakfast the next day.
• Preheat your waffle iron until hot.
• Uncover the batter and whisk in the egg and baking soda.
• Pour 1/3 to 3/4 cups of batter on the hot waffle iron and close the lid. Let cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

SOURDOUGH WAFFLES

Steps:

• Night Before:.
• Combine all the Basic Batter ingredients (starter, flour, sugar and water in a large glass or plastic container -- be sure the container is large enough that batter does not overflow as it produces caron dioxide and expands.
• Allow to sit at room temperature, loosely covered for 6 to 12 hours. (Note: If not using the basic batter right away after proofing, or have some left over, store in a glass or plastic container, cover tightly and refrigerate.).
• Next Morning --
• Beat egg whites until form stiff peaks.
• In medium bowl, beat egg yolks, milk and butter.
• Stir in Basic Batter.(Store the balance in the refrigerator for future use. See Recipe #160205 for uses of the left over batter).

• Stir into the egg yolk mixture.
• Allow mixture to rest for 10 minutes.
