For us, two joys of the internet are this list and rec.food.sourdough which
has info on all aspects of sourdough and occasionally an offer of free
starter and directions for use from a kind gentleman in Washington state
named Carl Griffith. Using Carl Griffith's starter which I have cycled
through enough feedings so it is really sour, I make FF waffles that are
light as a feather, crispy, and so good we eat the first one without syrup
or anything. The starter is my pet and feeding it has become a hobby.

Evening before: Add one cup flour and 2/3 cup water to existing starter.
Leave at room temp overnight.

Next morning: Preheat waffle baker to WAFFLE temp setting if dial so
marked, otherwise about 2/3 of max temp. When hot, spray lightly with Pam
or equivalent.

Put 1 cup of active bubbly sourdough starter in 2quart mixing bowl. In
small bowl, mix 1 Tblsp sugar, One half Tblsp salt, One half Tblsp baking soda.

When ready to cook, sprinkle dry mix on starter and fold in. In a minute or
so, the batter will foam up to about twice the volume.

Ladle into waffle baker. Heat indicator lamp should go on. Cook until lamp
turns off. Crispness is determined by setting of temp control. Hotter =
crisper.

Makes two fullsize waffles. Planning to try these tomorrow morning with FF
sausage gravy prepared using secret recipe (posted to this list several
times heretofore).
