It's always a crap shot but better to err on too little

Can't tell ya how many times I flooded the countertop with bubbled out batter for erring on the side of too much. One other fact from waffle cooking lore: When the steam subsides, they're done. Love the steam and oh the fragrance of butter and vanilla mmm mmm--much more intimate than cakes in the oven. They look fine. I love 'em dark. Would love to have one now before bed with soft butter, warm Maple syrup ,and cold milk. Sweet dreams, Fred.
 
My family loves sour dough waffles. Our recipe:

The night before mix all the sour dough starter you have (for us, this is about 2 cups) with 5 cups of flour and 3 1/2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast. I put this all in a k-45 kitchenAid bowl that I cover with a dinner plate, and I put a dinner plate under it because if it warm, it can bubble over a little.

The next morning stir it down and take out the same amount of starter you used last night and put back into the refrigerator. Then add to the rest:
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup sugar
4 extra large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 12 ounce can of evaporated milk
I stir this mixture with a whisk. It make a lot of waffles (I use two waffle bakers); Sunbeams like the one you have are my favorite. This makes very light waffles. We bake it on 3 1/2 on the Sunbeam dial. Serve wit real butter and real maple syrup.
