Sourdough Waffles

You ain't had crazy good breakfast until you've tried these buttermilk waffles made with sourdough!

I've been trying to use my sourdough more often because it just sits in my fridge and gets its 10 day feedings and that's it. I decided to whip up these sourdough waffles because I have had the recipe saved for like 6 years or something crazy like that. If you don't know how to make sourdough, please scroll to the bottom of the post and make yourself a starter. It's easier than you'd think and most times, they are very forgiving. I personally really enjoyed the flavor of these waffles and absolutely adore that they contain buttermilk as well. Buttermilk pancakes/waffles are my favorite style/kind. I also really like that this recipe has two parts, but neither are very labor intensive. You stir a few ingredients together the night prior and then stir a couple more ingredients into that and boom! Waffles for breakfast!
