Description

Deliciously fluffy pancakes made using sourdough discard, combining sweet and tangy flavors for a perfect breakfast treat.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough discard, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour batter onto the griddle, using about ¼ cup for each pancake.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.

Notes

For fluffier pancakes, consider beating the egg whites separately before folding them into the batter. Add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
