Ingredients
  

Savory Herb Blend

  • 1/2 tsp rubbed sage
  • 1 tsp marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp powdered rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp thyme

Overnight Sponge

  • 227 g discard sourdough starter
  • 241 g all-purpose flours
  • 28 g sugar
  • 454 g buttermilk

Waffle Batter

  • all of the overnight sponge
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil, I use avocado oil
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
 

Overnight Sponge

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together your sourdough discard, flour, sugar, buttermilk, and savory herb blend (all of it!). Cover and let rest at room temperature at least 10 hours, or overnight.

Waffles

  • Add your eggs, oil, salt, and baking soda to the overnight sponge and stir well. It will start to bubble.
  • Make waffles according to the iron manufacturer's instructions.
  • Serve immediately OR let cool and freezer for a much tastier version of frozen waffles (so much better than store-bought).

Notes

Serving Suggestions:
  • Classic: With a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or herbed butter
  • Lammas Feast: Topped with grilled chicken (using my go to chicken marinade), with a little honey or hot honey
  • Harvest Board: Serve alongside fresh fruit, garden tomatoes, or a summer salad
