Sourdough Overnight Waffles ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

How to make Sourdough Overnight Waffles

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup active sourdough starter, 1 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk everything together until just combined and no dry streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
  2. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rest at room temperature overnight, or for 8-12 hours, to allow the sourdough starter to ferment and develop flavor.
  3. The next morning, remove the cover from the batter. Add the 1 large egg and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to the fermented batter and whisk vigorously until well incorporated and the baking soda is evenly distributed.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions to a medium-high setting. Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with butter or cooking spray if they are not non-stick.
  5. Pour approximately 1/2 cup (or the amount recommended by your waffle iron) of batter onto the hot waffle iron plates. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp and steam is no longer vigorously escaping.
  6. Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the iron and transfer it to a wire rack or plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring to re-grease the iron between waffles if necessary.
  7. Serve the warm Sourdough Overnight Waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
