Why you’ll love these Sourdough Discard Waffles or Pancakes
My family and I love breakfast items, we will occasionally have breakfast for dinner. It was always a fun memory when I was growing up, so I hope to instill those same memories with my kids.
Waffles are such a great breakfast item; whether you drizzle syrup on it, or strawberries and whipped cream. My favorite lately is peanut butter and syrup. They are always a hit.
These Sourdough Waffles step it up a notch! Sourdough is great for your gut health and is a prebiotic.
These waffles are very tasty, and fluffy with a little crisp.
What’s sourdough discard?
Sourdough discard is the portion of the starter that is removed before you feed it again. You either just toss it into the trash, or can use it in a recipe. Sourdough discard can be added to almost any baked good.
If you don’t have a sourdough start, don’t be intimidated. Once you’ve activated it, you can easily stored in the fridge for feeding/using once a week, if you don’t want to deal with it every day.
