They’re light and delicious, +> with a light sourdough flavor. They freeze well. +> +> Adapted from a recipe in "The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion" + +**Ingredients** + +**Overnight Sponge** + +* Whole wheat pastry flour: 10 ounces or 2 generous cups +* Honey: 2 Tbs +* Buttermilk: 18 ounces or 2.25 cups +* Sourdough starter: 8 ounces (if it’s the wet kind, use only 16 + ounces or 2 cups buttermilk) + +**Final Batter** + +* All of the sponge +* 2 large eggs +* 6 Tbs (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted +* 3/4 tsp salt +* 1 tsp baking soda + +**Mixing** + +Mix up the sponge the night before. Cover it and let it sit. The next +morning, it should be bubbly. In another bowl, beat the egg with the +melted butter until light, and then mix in the salt and baking soda. +Dump this mixture into the sponge -- if the sponge is acidic enough, +it should bubble quite a bit when it hits the alkaline baking soda. +Mix it all together and then spoon it into a hot waffle iron. You'll +know your waffle iron better than mine, but it usually takes about 4-5 +minutes. I judge by the volume of steam -- when it starts to +dissipate, they're usually done. + +**Cooking** + +This recipe makes 8 to 10 traditional waffles. If you've got a Belgian +waffle maker, I'm afraid you'll have to find out for yourself how many +it will make, but no matter. The recipe stands well to doubling, even +quadrupling, and leftover waffles freeze beautifully, so don't worry +about making too many. When you want one for breakfast, just pop it +directly into the toaster from the freezer. + |
