I like a basic waffle recipe. Using sourdough discard adds nice texture. I think adding some brown sugar gives a little sweetness. The recipe is better when the batter is left to sit overnight but they still come out well if the batter is made right away. I like waffle with fruit and maple syrup. Can add some yogurt or some whipped cream.
