Sourdough Discard Waffles Recipe

I make a lot of sourdough bread for my bread blog, Breadbythehour.com. However, even I need a break from bread every once in a while.

Whenever I have a lot of sourdough starter discard, I make waffles for my family. This sourdough discard waffle recipe is both tasty and tangy. Because of the delightful sourdough flavor, I prefer to pair these waffles with a tart berry syrup and whipped cream (though it tastes great with traditional maple syrup as well).

Ingredients

142 Grams All-Purpose Flour (1 Cup and 2 Tablespoons)
6 Grams Baking Powder (1 1/2 Teaspoons)
30 Grams White Granulated Sugar (2 Tablespoons)
4 Grams Salt (1/2 Teaspoon)
2 Large Eggs
170 Grams Milk (3/4 Cup)
40 Grams Butter – Melted (3 Tablespoons)
226 Grams Sourdough Starter Discard (1 Cup)
4.2 Grams Vanilla Extract (1 Teaspoon)

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, butter, and sourdough discard.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.
Lightly grease a waffle iron and cook until light golden in color.

Notes

Serving size is about one quarter of a waffle (at least in my waffle maker it is). Note that your serving sizes may vary depending on your machine. In my waffle maker, the recipe makes about 2 1/2 Belgian-style waffles.

Did You Try It?

I love making sourdough discard waffles, especially when topped with a fruit syrup. But what do you think? Do you prefer more traditional waffles with maple syrup? Or do you have other favorite toppings that compliment the sourdough flavor even better? I’d love to hear what you think in the comments below!

Really tasty and wouldn't change a thing! 4 grandkids (9-13 years old) gobbled them all up and asked for seconds. Had to make another batch for my husband and me.

    Loved it. Light and fluffy. Instead of milk I used heavy whipping cream. My husband said my kitchen smelled like a breakfast diner and they were the best waffles he'd ever had.
