How to tell when my sourdough toss waffles are done?
When predicting the outcome of your waffle batter, some of the telltale signs to look out for is the color of your sourdough waffles. Your waffles are ready to be devoured after they have turned a lovely light, golden brown.
Remember to check your waffles after they've cooked for 2 to 3 minutes, anything before that will probably be well done. Set a timer for 2 minutes, after which you should carefully lift the lid of your machine to check the formation of waffles. Once they are nice and golden, gently make a small cut with a knife and check that the inside is nice and fluffy.
