Accompany the waffles with bacon, but also and above all with butter and lots of maple syrup!
From: Matthew Swift, Terre Restaurant at l'Alt Hotel St. John's
With everyone locked down, it is inspiring to see so many people take up baking (sourdough in particular). From years of experience, I can say that as a baker you often find yourself with the dilemma of “What do I do with this extra Levain?”. There are a few great things it can be used for, one of my favourites though is waffles. This recipe must be started the night before, but it is worth the wait. I am partial to bacon with waffles, but more importantly butter and lots of Maple Syrup…If you do not have a waffle iron handy, this recipe also makes excellent pancakes.
