Do you have extra discard and want to put it to good use? Sourdough discard waffles are one of my favorite ways to use sourdough discard because they\u2019re a perfect balance between tangy, buttery waffles, sweet maple syrup, and fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn how to get extra tangy flavor by fermenting the dough the night before. But if you don’t want to wait overnight I’ll show you how to make it the same day with only a 15 minute wait too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is specifically for waffles and is not interchangeable with pancakes<\/strong> like you might be used to with other recipes. See my other post for ultra-fluffy discard pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much discard do you need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This sourdough discard waffle recipe needs about \u00bd cups of discard to get a tangy, fermented flavor. I also like to ferment the dough overnight (8-12 hours) on the counter to boost the tangy flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why ferment this batter overnight?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fermenting the batter overnight (or 8-12 hours) on the counter helps to give the dough a tangy sourdough flavor. It\u2019s not vital to ferment this dough, and you can make it the same day instead of waiting, but we recommend fermenting for a tangier flavor. To add extra tangy flavor, I also use buttermilk, but if you only want a slightly tangy flavor, you can use regular milk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you make discard waffles ahead of time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn\u2019t recommend storing the mixed batter<\/strong> in the fridge for more than one day because this might alter the taste; however, you can pre-make waffles ahead of time<\/strong> and freeze leftovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re just as good as new when you reheat them and are perfect for days when you\u2019re craving them on a busy morning. It\u2019s also a great way to use discard when you have too much and don\u2019t want to waste it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
