Adapted from my book Artisan Sourdough Made Simple, you'll love my easy, one-bowl recipe for light and crisp homemade sourdough waffles using leftover sourdough discard. The batter can be made overnight or on the same day- it’s up to you. The cinnamon-sugar makes these sourdough waffles extra special.

Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray. Ladle some of the batter into the pan (don’t overfill; if will be a huge mess!). Cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden and crisp.
