Crispy Fluffy Sourdough Waffles

So I am a bartender and trust me, the late nights talking to very drunk people can get very emotionally draining. Not only is it mentally taxing, but it's hard physical work! You know what gets me through that late-night shift? Looking forward to my sourdough waffles the next day, GOOD LORD. There's nothing else on earth that could possibly hit the spot the way these boys do. I mean..... I'll let the jury decide.

So in order to get these puppies going, your gonna to need to get a sourdough starter brewing. This will take you approximately 7 days, assuming you are competent enough to remember to feed it at least once per day. BUT DON'T WORRY. Once you get a starter going, you'll literally never have to wait 7 days AGAIN.

So yea cool. Starter is literally just flour + water, and you just add more flour + water 24 hours later. Repeat this on days 1-7 to get that bacterial party going. We're intentionally inducing a yeast infection. Scratch the Vagasil. Don't forget to throw some out before you add fresh, or else your jar will overflow like Mt. St. Helens. If you are at all confused by this, you should be. Sourdough starter makes no sense at all until it does. I'll do a tutorial on it when I feel like it and it will be linked HERE.

So when I wake up in the morning and have these puppies, with some fresh fruit for fiber. And a piping hot cup of coffee, it provides meaning to an otherwise ponderous and capricious existence. And I can stop asking myself questions like "What am I doing with my life?" "Why are we here?" and "Is time linear or circular?" and start asking myself questions like "How do these taste so good?" "How am I such a baking genius?" "How did I pull off such an insane tasting meal?"
