• 115 grams warm water (½ cups)
• 7 grams salt (1teaspoon)
• 141 grams whole milk (½ cup)

Long Fermented Sourdough Einkorn Waffles

To make sure all the flour in this recipe is fully fermented by the sourdough starter, like good sourdough bread, use the long ferment method:

To make these waffles long fermented, you'll mix up the batter the night before, put it in the fridge to ferment over night... In the morning just remove it from the fridge whisk in your baking soda, and cook!

To a large mixing bowl whisk together: einkorn flour, active bubbly sourdough starter, eggs, warm water, salt, milk, vanilla extract, olive oil, maple syrup.

Cover your batter with a piece of plastic wrap to keep it moist and prevent a dry layer from developing on top.... And refrigerate overnight till your ready to cook!

In the morning, remove your batter from the fridge, whisk in 2 teaspoons (13 grams) of baking soda... And let it sit on the counter and warm up for a few minutes.

Heat your waffle iron, with the setting to just above medium doneness (if you have that control, like I do).

Butter your waffle iron on top and bottom.

Add ¾ cup of batter to the center of your waffle iron, close the lid (and flip it if you have that type of waffle iron.)

Cook till the ready light comes on, wait a minute more if you like them well done. Remove carefully to a plate, and repeat till all the batter is cooked.

Quick Cook Option

To make these delicious Sourdough Einkorn Waffles and cook right away, just omit the refrigerator, adding the baking soda into the bowl with the rest of the ingredients.

Then heat your waffle iron, butter the top and bottom, and move ahead with cooking them.

Serving

I like to serve these delicious waffles right off the waffle iron.... Slather a bit of softened real butter over the top, and maple syrup or freezer jam!

If you want to cook them all before serving, heat your oven to 180 degrees F, and put each waffle into the oven as it finishes cooking till they are all cooked!

I don't cover waffles in the oven with anything because I like the edges crunchy, and a cover will cause them to steam a bit;)
