Ingredients

Scale

For the Overnight Base:

  • 1 cup sourdough starter “unfed”
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp light brown sugar

For the Batter:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or neutral oil

Instructions

Step 1

Put the sourdough starter in a large bowl and add the buttermilk, flour and sugar, then stir to combine. Cover the bowl and allow it to rest overnight at room temperature.

Step 2

When you are ready to cook, whisk the egg, melted butter or oil and the vanilla extract together in a small bowl, then add the rested sponge. Add the salt and the baking soda to the batter and mix to combine.

Step 3

Pour some of the batter onto a preheated greased waffle iron and cook until the waffle is brown and crisp, then repeat. Or use a small ladle to create pancakes on a preheated oiled pan or griddle, flipping them when they are well browned on the bottom. Serve immediately.
