Make light and fluffy pancakes using your extra sourdough starter discard. This recipe is quick and reduces food waste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, egg, and milk until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Stir in the melted butter or oil.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter.
  • If your discard is very thick, you may need to add an extra splash of milk to reach the correct consistency.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking if time allows.
