How to make Overnight Sourdough Waffles

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup active sourdough starter, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted and cooled unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  2. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and let it rest at room temperature for 8-12 hours, or overnight, to allow the sourdough to ferment and develop flavor.
  3. The next morning, the batter should be bubbly and slightly increased in volume. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. In a small separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  5. Add the egg mixture to the fermented sourdough batter and gently whisk until just incorporated. Do not overmix, as this can develop gluten and make the waffles tough.
  6. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter, ensuring full coverage to prevent sticking.
  7. Pour approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, or the amount specified by your waffle maker for each waffle. Close the lid gently.
  8. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown, crisp, and steam is no longer vigorously escaping from the sides. The exact cooking time will vary by waffle iron.
  9. Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a wire rack to prevent it from getting soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the iron as needed.
  10. Serve the warm sourdough waffles immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
