Instructions
Levain (to be made the night before)
- Weigh 4 ounces of sourdough starter into a glass jar or bowl.
- Stir in one cup of flour.
- Stir in one cup of kefir and mix thoroughly until combined. It will be pretty thick.
- Cover bowl with lid or plastic wrap and set aside for at least 8 hours.
Batter (to be made the next morning)
- Stir the cocoa, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Whisk the eggs with the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla In a separate bowl.
- Add the cocoa mixture and stir well;
- Add this cocoa/egg mixture to your sourdough levain mixture all at once.
- Stir thoroughly – you don't want streaks of unmixed sourdough in your batter. The batter will start to swell from the baking soda acting with the kefir and sourdough.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pre-heat your waffle iron and cook according to your manufacturer's instructions. My waffles take about 3 to 5 minutes.
- The waffles will feel soft coming out of the waffle iron but will crisp up again when you remove them.
