Creating the Sponge
- In a bowl mix together 300g of unbleached flour, 100g of sourdough discard, 250 g of water, 30 g of sugar, and 8 g of salt. Mix it until it looks well incorporated.
- Let the dough sit until it at least doubles (I usually let mine sit out for about 8-10 hours...or overnight)
Adding the Rest and Cooking
- Once you are ready to make the waffles, plug in your waffle iron so it can be ready when you are done mixing the final ingredients.
- Now, add your 3 eggs, 1tsp of baking powder, ¼ tsp of baking soda, ½ c of milk, juice and zest from your lemon, and 1 tbsp of chia seeds to your sponge. Mix until well incorporated
- Now you are ready to start pouring. Grease your iron well, and cook according to the directions of your waffle iron.
