Sourdough starter can be used to make delicious, light waffles without any added fat or cholesterol. Specialty food stores sell sourdough starter mixes, or better yet, get some from a friend who keeps sourdough starter. The care and feeding of sourdough is really quite simple. Simply use it every two weeks and replenish it with equal amounts of flour and water.
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 cups sourdough starter
Combine the soda and maple syrup in a mixing bowl and stir to mix. Add the sourdough starter and mix well.
Cook the batter in a preheated, oil-sprayed waffle iron until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
