Sourdough Discard Pancakes

Fluffy and flavorful pancakes made using sourdough discard for a natural tang and tender crumb. Perfect for a delicious breakfast that reduces food waste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, milk, and egg until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in the melted butter or oil.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a handful of fresh berries to the batter before cooking.
