Sourdough Mochi Waffle

---

Do you find yourself with an excess of sourdough starter on your hands from bread projects? A simple way to use up your starter would be to make these fabulous waffles. I love the tang that sourdough starter imparts so I like to let mine ferment overnight at room temperature or even for a couple days in the fridge.

Ingredients

• ½  c whole wheat flour
  
• ½  c white flour
  
• ½  c sweet rice flour
  
• 1 c water
  
• ¼ c or more of sourdough starter
  
• ½  tsp salt
  
• ¼  tsp baking soda
  

 
Procedure

1. Combine flours and water together in a medium bowl.
   
2. Add starter and stir to incorporate. Cover and set aside to ferment overnight.
   
3. Preheat waffle iron.
   
4. Just before cooking add salt and baking soda. Stir to incorporate.
   
5. Lightly grease iron before pouring batter in. Cook until desired doneness.
   

Yield: Approximately 6 waffles depending on size of iron
 
Notes:

• For sweet waffles add berries on top of the waffle batter before closing the iron. Garnish with mint and maple syrup.
  
• For savory waffles add cheese on top of the waffle batter before closing the iron. Garnish with sautéed vegetables and olive oil.
