WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Ingredients

  • 200 g sourdough starter discard
  • 1 egg
  • 120 g milk
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 90 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla, optional

HOW TO MAKE IT

Directions

  1. 1

    Warm a griddle to medium heat.

  2. 2

    Whisk the sourdough starter discard, egg, milk, melted butter or oil, sugar, and vanilla until combined.

  3. 3

    Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until combined, then rest the batter for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour roughly 1/4-cup portions onto the warm griddle. As the pancakes set, they will start to bubble. When bubbles toward the center pop and do not refill with batter, flip the pancakes.

  5. 5

    Cook for 30–40 seconds on the second side, then move the pancakes to a wire rack or serve immediately.

  6. 6

    Freeze any extras. Reheat frozen pancakes in the microwave.
