Description

Turning sourdough discard into fluffy pancakes creates a delightful morning treat that minimizes waste and adds unique flavor.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, combine the sourdough discard, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan for each pancake.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Rest the batter for a few minutes before cooking for more tender pancakes. Experiment with different toppings and mix-ins like chocolate chips or fruit.
