Of course, we think sourdough makes everything better—including waffles! 😍

If you have some sourdough starter on hand today, it’s the perfect excuse to make a batch of crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside sourdough waffles. 🤎

And the best part? They’re a delicious way to use up that starter!

Drop a picture of your sourdough waffles in the comments and show us what you’re making today! 👇🧇
