Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups sourdough starter
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 peaches, sliced
- Maple syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of sourdough starter, 1 cup of flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 2 peaches, and maple syrup for drizzling.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated with the sourdough starter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter until well combined. This mixture will add richness to your waffles.
- Pour the egg and butter mixture into the bowl with the sourdough mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles tough.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle iron requires oil or non-stick spray, apply it now to prevent sticking.
- Once the waffle iron is ready, ladle the appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the waffles are cooking, prepare the peaches. Slice the peaches into wedges and set aside. If you prefer, you can grill or sauté the peaches in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until they are slightly caramelized.
- Once the waffles are done, carefully remove them from the waffle iron and keep them warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the remaining waffles.
- To serve, place a warm sourdough waffle on a plate, top it with the sliced peaches, and drizzle generously with maple syrup. Enjoy your delicious Sour Dough Waffles with Maple Glazed Peaches!
Tips
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before beginning the recipe for the best texture and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- For extra crispy waffles, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to hydrate.
- If your peaches aren't perfectly ripe, lightly caramelize them in a pan with a touch of butter to enhance their natural sweetness.
- Use a non-stick waffle iron and lightly grease it to prevent sticking and achieve a perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Keep cooked waffles warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while preparing the remaining batch to serve everything hot and fresh.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the waffle batter.
