Makes 1.5-2 batches of waffles.
Mix these together:
1-1 1/8 c sourdough starter (from a 3 cup mixture that was 2 1/4 c brown rice, 1/4 c millet, 1/2 c quinoa)
-see starter directions below
5/8 c Libby’s canned pumpkin
1 egg
3/4-1 tbsp coconut cream concentrate dissolved in 2-3 tbsp hot water
1 tbsp cane sugar
Add these and mix:
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Add these and mix again:
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
The batter is light and airy.
Put coconut oil on the waffle grill to prevent from sticking and cook for about 4-4.5 minutes.
Note: These did not stick to the grill even slightly. They came right off where other recipies have stuck.
Note: Do not need xantham gum in gluten free recipies that are sourdough, the bread is naturally more cohesive.
For starter:
1 cup brown rice flour
3/4 cup chlorine free filtered water
2 tbsp water kefir (made from water kefir grains)
Mix this up in glass bowl and cover it.
Every 8-12 hours, add 1/4-1-2 cup brown rice flour (or other gluten free flour) and slightly less than 1/4-1/2 cup chlorine free filtered water.
After the first day throw away 1/4-1/2 cup of the starter before adding the new flour/water.
The more regular and closer to 8 hours that you feed it, the better it will do.
Change to a clean bowl every 3 days.
When it is eating up the new flour good and airy and bubbling, it is ready to use, probably takes a few days, mine is about 2 months old and spent some of that time chilling in the fridge.
Now, stop throwing it away so that you have extra to use. Use some different flours for the last few feedings (quinoa, millet, buckwheat, etc)
Go more toward 1/2 cup as the amount gets larger, and even more if you have a bigger starter batch growing. You have to feed these bacteria, the more there are, the more food it takes to feed them.
Use the starter for recipes about 7 hours after it has been fed. Do not feed before using. But if you wait too long, or if you are not feeding a large enough amount and it has gone thru the food too quickly, the result will be more sour.
Seems complicated, but first get used to making kefir from water kefir grains which you can get on the internet or if you know a friend that has some. Then get the starter going good. Once you have this down, the waffles themselves are real easy.
