Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made these again, subbing oil for the butter and they were just as good (overnight method). This time I milled red spring wheat (from A&B Grains) for half the flour. Really good waffles.

    We found these waffles enjoyable. I also used the overnight method with ripe starter and subbed half the flour with red spring wheat flour from Flourist. It’s good to have your buttermilk at room temperature before mixing the dough. Took 3 min in my waffle maker (the Dash mini). I made a half batch to try them, and I’m going to freeze the leftovers as described in the book. My yield for 1/2 recipe was 12 mini waffles. Edit: these froze perfectly. Not having a toaster, I heated them up in a dry cast iron pan. I will definitely do these again.

    This is a good sourdough waffle. I follow the overnight waffles instructions and mix the batter in the morning and then I cook them up for dinner. The only thing that is keeping me from declaring these the best sourdough waffles is the texture inside the waffle. Once cooked, the exterior is deliciously crispy and remains that way for a long time, however the inside, no matter how long I cook it, still seems wet although completely cooked. It's hard to describe and I'm not sure what is causing this but it seems a little odd to me and it has happened every single time I've made these waffles (multiple times over the past 9 months).
