Ingredients
  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 5 slices crisp cooked bacon (about 1/2 cup chopped)
  • more bacon and maple syrup to garnish
Instructions
  1.  Let the sourdough starter sit out for a few hours, then “feed” it (add ¼ cup flour and ¼ cup milk or water, depending on what type you use). Let it sit out overnight.

  2. Mix all the ingredients except the bacon in a large bowl.

  3. Let it sit for about 10 – 15 minutes, until you see bubbles.

  4. In the mean time, heat the waffle iron is up. I like to use a Belgian waffle maker for the deeper holes, but any waffle maker will work.

  5. Stir in the bacon.

  6. Pour ½ cup of batter into the waffle maker and cook until golden brown and crisp on the outside.

  7. Continue to make waffles until all the batter is used.

    NOTE: If are going to use them immediately, put them on a plate. If you are not going to use them within a couple of minutes, let them sit on a wire rack. This will keep the steam from softening them up.

  8. Serve with maple syrup and more bacon crumbles for garnish.
