  • For the overnight sponge, preheat your waffle iron. Combine the starter, flour, sugar, and buttermilk in a large bowl. Stir to mix well. Cover and let rest at cool room temperature for about 8 to 12 hours, or overnight. Timing depends on the temperature of your home.
  • The next morning, in a small, separate bowl, beat the eggs, and butter. Add to the overnight sponge along with the salt and baking soda. Stir to combine. The batter will bubble, remember sourdough is alive.
