Sourdough Waffles...and the Great Shakeout!

Sourdough Waffles!

Yummy with fruit...ever served them with banana pudding?

OMGoodness!

 

The Birthday Breakfast for March/April birthdays was held last Saturday at Debbie Stobbe's home.  She set such a beautful table and even provided us with fresh-squeezed orange juice.  Being the Disney fan that I am...I got the honor of wearing the Minnie Mouse birthday crown...lol!  But the real crown jewel belongs to the wonderful sourdough waffles that are the family brunch tradition at Conference time.  Scott was in charge of cooking the light and fluffy waffles.  They offered berries and cream for toppings and...banana pudding.  It was a surprising variation...but non-negotiable where the Stobbe family is concerned.  It must be served!  Scott gave me the waffle recipe, which follows.  I have also included a recipe for sourdough starter.  You'll need it!
