What is Sourdough discard?

Sourdough discard is part of the starter you delete while eating. While often overlooked, it is full of complex flavors that can enhance recipes such as pancakes, cookies, and of course waffles. A slight acidity helps soften the batter, resulting in a perfect texture and flavor depth.

How to Make Sourdough Waffles

Here is a step-by-step guide to making waffles with sourdough starters. Please refer to the printable instructions below in the recipe card.

• Start with dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. You want to do this separately from wet food to make everything good.
• Add wet ingredients: Discard the sourdough starter, pour the milk, egg white, oil and vanilla into the flour mixture. Stir with a spatula until combined.
• Cook waffles: I used mini waffle iron, but if you have one, you can use larger iron. Spray with oil to avoid sticking, add the batter and cook until golden brown. Repeat the remaining batter.

Variations:

• Toppings: Top with fresh fruit, maple syrup, nut butter, honey, butter, powdered sugar or whipped cream.
• mix: Add blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter.
• spices: Sprinkle with small cinnamon or pumpkin pie spices.
• milk: Instead of buttermilk.

Tips for success

For extra flavor and sour soup, you can mix the batter the night before and rest – fermentation is magical when you sleep. However, if your time is short (or just trying to use up some discards before the next feed), then that’s OK. These waffles are still fresh in the morning.

Whether your starter is active and bubbled, or a starter that exudes a sour smell from the refrigerator, this recipe is ready to use.

Provide advice
