Sourdough Waffles with Coconut Milk Tips

Make sure your bowl is sufficiently large enough to hold all your batter and account for expansion. Overnight the sourdough will consume parts of the flour and create carbon dioxide resulting in the sponge rising. In the morning when you add the baking soda it will rise again so make sure you have a large enough bowl!

It may seem like this recipe has a lot of butter, and it does, but it is for a good reason, the butter helps the waffles not stick to your waffle iron. If you reduce the amount of fat, you may have a hard time removing your waffles in one piece.

This batter is very sticky and unlike regular non-fermented waffle batter. This is normal and nothing to worry about.

It is important to begin these waffles the night before so that the sponge has time to ferment and break down the flour.
