Sams Sourdough Waffles Recipes

Steps:

• Mix flour, 1 1/2 cup water, and sourdough starter together in a large bowl to make batter. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until filled with large holes and bubbles, 4 hours to overnight.
• Stir oil, eggs, sugar, and salt into the batter; mix well to combine.
• Whisk 1 tablespoon water and baking soda together in a small bowl until dissolved. Fold into the batter with a rubber spatula.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Pour batter onto preheated iron and bake until crisp and golden, according to manufacturer's instructions, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the starter, milk and flour in a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Rest for 8 hours at room temperature, until the batter is light, full of bubbles, and roughly doubled in size. (If you'd like to make these for breakfast, you can refrigerate the batter overnight after this 8-hour rest.)
• Stir the egg yolk, butter, sugar and salt into the starter mixture until just combined and set aside.
• Beat the egg white and cream of tartar with a hand mixer on high until stiff peaks form, about 1 to 2 minutes, then fold the egg white into the batter using as few folds as possible to keep it from deflating (see Cook's Note). Rest the batter at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Heat a Belgian waffle iron on medium heat. When hot, lightly coat both plates with nonstick spray. Ladle the recommended amount of waffle batter onto the iron according to the manufacturer's recommendations and cook until crisp and golden brown. Serve immediately or cool on a rack and wrap in plastic wrap followed by foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
• To begin: Mix together 125 grams flour and 125 grams water with a clean hand in a medium glass bowl. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let sit undisturbed at room temperature until the mixture is full of bubbles and has nearly doubled in size, usually 2 to 3 days. During this time, yeasts and bacteria from the air and from the flour and probably from you will set up housekeeping in the bowl (see Cook's Note).
• For daily feeding: Peel back any crust that may have formed and transfer 20% of the culture (50 grams) to a clean, wide-mouthed jar. Stir in 100 grams flour and 100 grams water, loosely screw on the lid and stash at room temperature for 24 hours. (The culture will have a stinky-sour smell at this point.) Discard the rest of the original mixture.
• Repeat step 2 every 24 hours for 5 days. By then the culture should smell yeasty-sweet-sour, which means you're ready to put the starter to work. The waffles are to be made with the discarded percentage of starter.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together dry ingredients, set aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat egg, stir in sourdough starter, oil and milk.
• Stir into flour mixture until dry ingredients are just moistened.
• Preheat waffle iron.
• Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup batter onto preheated iron.
• Bake 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 4 servings.

Steps:

• Put the sourdough starter in a large bowl and add the buttermilk, flour and sugar, then stir to combine. Cover the bowl and allow it to rest overnight at room temperature.
• When you are ready to cook, whisk the egg, melted butter or oil and the vanilla extract together in a small bowl, then add the rested sponge. Add the salt and the baking soda to the batter and mix to combine.
• Pour some of the batter onto a preheated greased waffle iron and cook until the waffle is brown and crisp, then repeat. Or use a small ladle to create pancakes on a preheated oiled pan or griddle, flipping them when they are well browned on the bottom. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix first three ingredients into a large non-metallic bowl and beat until smooth. Cover loosely with a damp towel/dishrag and let stand in a warm place for 8 to 18 hours.
• Mix batter down. Add remaining ingredients and stir until smooth.
• Cook on a lightly greased preheated griddle or skillet at 400°F.
• Serve with maple or berry syrup, or toss an fried egg on 'em.

Steps:

• Proof starter as usual the night before, the next morning, measure out 1 cup starter and refrigerate the rest.
• Separate the eggs whites from the yolk and beat the yolks until creamy; reserve the whites and allow to reach room temperature.
• To the starter add the water, powdered milk, salt, sugar and melted butter; stir to blend; stir in flour.
• Add the beaten egg yolks, cover batter and allow to stand until double (approximately 1 hour).
• Just before baking, beat egg whites until stiff but moist and gently fold into batter along with vanilla.
• Bake on preheated waffle iron as per manufacturer's recommendations.
• Please note: the preparation time does not include the time need to proof the starter.

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).
• In a separate bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda together;
• Stir into the egg yolk mixture.
• Allow mixture to rest for 10 minutes.
• Gently fold in egg whites.
• Ladle batter on to preheated waffle iron.
• Follow manufactures instructions.

Steps:

• The night before, stir your sourdough starter and remove one cup.
• Place the 1 cup of starter in a glass or stoneware bowl at least 6 cups in size (don't use plastic or metal bowls for this- they give off flavors to the batter).
• Stir in the 2 cups of tepid water, the flour, and the sugar until smooth.
• Cover lightly (you can use plastic wrap but don't seal off the air going into the bowl) and place in a non-drafty place and allow to sit overnight.
• The next morning, remove one cup of the batter and pour it back into the mother starter (what you removed this from in the first place; you should keep this refrigerated).
• Start to heat your griddle (heat to 370F), oiling it lightly if needed.
• Stir the egg, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and melted butter into the batter.
• Drop by 1/4-cupfuls onto the hot griddle and flip them with a spatula when they bubble and get golden on the underside.
• Keep pancakes warm while finishing the others.
• Serve pancakes hot with butter and syrup, if desired.
• You can also easily make blueberry pancakes with this; just dust them with a little flour before folding into the pancake batter.
