Sourdough Discard Pancakes
Fluffy, lightly tangy pancakes—the reliable way to put 200 g of sourdough discard to work.
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
Warm a griddle to medium heat.
- 2
Whisk the sourdough starter discard, egg, milk, melted butter or oil, sugar, and vanilla until combined.
- 3
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until combined, then rest the batter for 5 minutes.
- 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
Cook for 30–40 seconds on the second side, then move the pancakes to a wire rack or serve immediately.
- 6
Freeze any extras. Reheat frozen pancakes in the microwave.
