Preparation

Chef’s notes

The batter can be left on the counter overnight or refrigerated. The room temperature method gives a superior sourdough-like flavor.
The recipe allows flexibility in serving time; batter keeps in the fridge for days, and extra waffles can be frozen and reheated.
Recommended for those seeking to elevate their waffle experience beyond typical pancake batter waffles.
