How to Make Sourdough Belgian Waffles

  1. The night before: Proof your sourdough starter as usual. The next morning, measure out 1 cup of active starter and refrigerate the remaining starter.
  2. Separate 4 large eggs, placing the yolks in a bowl and the whites in a separate bowl. Beat the egg yolks until pale and creamy.
  3. Set the egg whites aside at room temperature to come to room temperature.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the 1 cup of sourdough starter with 1 cup of lukewarm water, 1/4 cup powdered milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter.
  5. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  6. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the beaten egg yolks. Cover the batter and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (about 1-2 hours).
  8. Just before baking, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  9. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron for each waffle.
  10. Bake until golden brown and crispy, following your waffle iron's instructions. This usually takes 3-5 minutes per waffle.
