Sourdough Buckwheat Waffles

Ingredients

• 120 grams buckwheat flour
• 60 grams all-purpose flour
• 120 grams sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
• 240 milliliters buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 60 grams unsalted butter (melted)
• 15 grams brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 n/a optional toppings (e.g., maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and brown sugar. Whisk until evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.

Step 4

Sprinkle the baking soda over the batter and fold it in gently. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it if needed.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly but avoiding overfilling. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 3-5 minutes (depending on your waffle iron).

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a wire rack to keep it crisp while you prepare the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
