Ingredients
200g Sourdough Starterdiscard or fed and bubbly
200gPumpkin Pureecanned or homemade
5gVanilla Essence1 teaspoon
2Eggs
50gButterMelted
150gAll Purpose Flour
5gSalt½ teaspoon
12gBaking Powder2 teaspoons
50gSugar
Pumpkin Spiceto taste - I suggest 1 teaspoon
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mix together sourdough starter, pumpkin puree, vanilla and eggs until well combined.
Pour in the melted butter and stir through the starter mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour salt, baking powder, sugar and pumpkin spice (if you're using it).
Now pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Mix until it forms a thick, spoonable batter. If using for pancakes, add a little milk and make the mixture just a little thinner.
Heat up your waffle iron and spoon mixture into the iron. Cook to your liking (these waffles are delicious soft or crispy). I cook them a little longer, making them brown and crispy.
Notes
Pumpkin Puree - I have used homemade pumpkin puree made from a butternut pumpkin. You can use homemade or canned pumpkin puree, just make sure it's not pie filling.
