Nutty Sourdough Waffles

I started a new batch of sourdough and am now looking for ways to use the excess. Click here for a  quick and simple recipe for sourdough. I did make a more complicate starter beginning with yeast spores captured from the air . . . which I will post at some point in time. I make half a batch for just two and even then there are extras for toasting and eating later. Waffles may also bee frozen. Note: This recipe relies on sourdough starter, baking powder and soda for leavening; no additional yeast is added. 

Yummy waffles! Fruits (such as blueberries, chopped apples, etc. may also be added to the batter.
