Farmer Boy Recipe for "National Waffle Day"

National Waffle Day is celebrated on March 25th, but these waffles are good any day!  This recipe is made with Sourdough Starter - if you need to know how to make that, I have a recipe in my blog archives for that.
Farmer Boy Sourdough Waffles

Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons of cooking oil
2 eggs
2/3 cup of sourdough starter
1 cup of whole wheat flour
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 Tablespoons of sugar

Directions: Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl.  Add all the wet ingredients, including the starter.  Let them sit to come up to room temperature.  Add to the waffle iron according to the directions & cook till done.  It's amazing how something so simple, could be so great tasting!

Make sure you cook these long enough - the crisp crust is great!  You'll never want to make any other kind again, except sourdough waffles!
You can top the waffles with a little buter and then pour any of your favorite syrups over them.  If you would rather, you could use dust the tops with powdered sugar.  I personally like to top them with honey!
