Sourdough Waffles

I have a recipe for Overnight Waffles on here that is quite similar. This recipe is MUCH healthier than that one and I think it tastes just as good!

1 teaspoon instant yeast
2 cups whole wheat flour (whole wheat pastry flour makes for a very good texture. You can buy it in bulk at Winco.)
1 Tablespoon sugar, splenda, or honey

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
2 Tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 egg whites or 1/2 cup liquid egg whites

1. Before going to bed, combine the dry ingredients and stir in the wet ingredients except for the eggs. The mixture will be loose. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside overnight at room temperature

2. Preheat the waffle iron and spray with cooking spray if needed. Beat the whites until they hold soft peaks. Stir them gently into the batter. Batter may be thin.

3. Pour batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is done, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron. Serve immediately or keep warm for a few minutes in a low oven.
