Sourdough Waffles

Sourdough Waffles................

Yes, My sourdough adventure continues! Today, I made sourdough waffles.   Pictured above is 1/4 of the batter that I made.... :~) Who on earth would have thought that 4 cups of starter would have made so much batter.   8~}  .... It's okay to laugh.... I now have about a million waffles in the freezer for future breakfasts.  (and my kids think I'm the greatest not to mention the cost was roughly a bag of flour... pretty good deal if you ask me)  

 It did take a little night before prep work, but was well worth the effort.

The recipe I used was one I found on the internet... 1847 Oregon Trail (free) SOURDOUGH STARTER By Carl (Recipe)  It was so yum-A-lishous that there is no need to modify the recipe! 

The first few batches, I filled a little to full.... So I have a huge mess now to clean up.  

But, it was sooooo worth it! 

Don't forget to check out Carl Griffith's Oregon Trail Starter. He has an awesome story and they will send out the starter for cost of shipping.  I've already mailed off for mine ;~) 

Until Next Time,

Bubbles.... Bubbles... Bubbles...

So a couple of weeks ago a friend gave me some sourdough bread starter....  YAY!!

..............................Or so I thought

I have to tell you that my only experience with starters has been the famous sweet Amish Friendship bread starter..... Yes, I know I too lost a few friends of the "sharing" of that starter.... :~)   And here, I was wanting to try it again.  This starter was different... No sugar.  (insert frown/ I just don't get it look here)  But I did what I was told to do.... Yea, Well that didn't work out so well..... After a little bit of research I now know, I should have kept going and it would have been fine... (oops, shoulder shrug here)   So Now, I'm on a mission! Yes, a sourdough mission! I did start once again that famous Amish bread starter.... 

And I've tried a few different bread recipes that were NOT a quick bread, I have to say everything turned out yummy.... Note here I didn't say pretty.  Just wish now I would have filmed them after they were finished cooking and before the family consumed it all....... oops again... still learning.

I can't wait to see what else I come up with.  Also can't wait for my 100+ year old starter comes in the mail.

Until next time,

Amy
