Sourdough (or not) Waffles

2 cups sourdough starter
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
¼ c. vegetable oil

Turn on your waffle iron, then stir down your starter. Measure two cups of starter into a glass or plastic bowl. Add eggs, sugar, salt, and oil. Mix until completely smooth. When the waffle iron is ready, fill according to waffle iron directions. Use up all the batter, and freeze any extra waffles.

Top with your favorite syrup, jam or jelly. Makes a great dessert too. Try it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

Serves 4-6
