In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese and garlic powder.

Heat up your waffle iron and spoon mixture into the iron. Cook until golden and cripsy. This recipe makes 5 to 6 generous sized sourdough cheese waffles.

Notes

Milk or buttermilk - you can use either milk or buttermilk in these sourdough waffles. If you make your own butter or cultured butter, you will have plenty of buttermilk on hand. This is perfect to include in this recipe.

Cheese - you can really use any cheese you like in this recipe. I've used crumbly cheddar and parmesan as they melt really well and create such a lovely crispy waffle.

Garlic and Paprika - these are totally optional and you can leave them out if you wish or add something that's more your taste. Black pepper, cayenne pepper, fresh garlic and herbs work really well!
