Best Sourdough Pancakes And Waffles Recipes

HEALTHY SOURDOUGH WHOLE GRAIN WAFFLES AND PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the starter, flours and water (or milk).
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest one to twelve hours. I usually mix it the night before.
• In the morning while you're waiting for the waffle iron or pancake pan to heat up, mix the egg, oil, and salt into the flour mixture. Just before cooking, stir in the baking soda.
• Using a quarter or half cup measuring cup ladle the batter onto the hot pan. For waffles cook according to the waffle iron directions, usually around 5 minutes, for pancakes flip when the edges start to bubble and the surface loses it's gloss.
• Notes- You can use your choice of whole grains. I like rice flour, available at Whole Foods or health food stores. It adds a light crunchy texture to waffles. I've also used quinoa, barley, spelt, and coconut flours with great success. (If you use half cornmeal it makes a most excellent supper when topped with chili or beans n cheese!).
• This recipe doubles or triples beautifully if you're feeding a crowd.
• This recipe doesn't call for sugar, as I've found that using sugar in waffles makes them stick to the waffle iron. Without sugar they never stick (no need to grease the iron) and with the sweet flavor of whole grains you truly won't miss it. For pancakes you can add a tablespoon or two of sugar if you must.
• A teaspoon of vanilla in the batter makes them smell terrific as they bake but we don't notice much difference in the taste, so I save that for company :).
• I love my Hamilton Beach Flip 'n Fluff ($19 on amazon) and it makes 9 4" waffles with this recipe.

SOURDOUGH WAFFLES AND PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the butter and milk together in a pan until the butter is melted, and then let them cool to room temperature.
• Mix all ingredients to form a thick batter, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and let it stand at room temperature for 8-14 hours. If you do this before going to bed, you'll have the batter ready for breakfast the next day.
• The next morning, preheat your waffle iron for 10-15 minutes.
• Uncover the batter and whisk in the eggs and baking soda.
• Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cups of batter on the hot waffle iron and close the lid.
• Let each waffle cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

SOURDOUGH PANCAKES AND WAFFLES

Steps:

• At night add flour and water to starter. Thicker batter works best for waffles. Next morning take out 1/2 of batter and mix with soda salt, egg and honey. Mix well. For extra light pancakes add 1 teaspoon baking powder. You can add 1/4 cup corn meal, blueberries, or chopped nuts if you wish.
