Description
Fluffy Sourdough Discard Pancakes are a delicious twist on traditional pancakes, utilizing sourdough starter for added flavor and fluffiness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sourdough starter (discard is fine)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the sourdough starter, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
Notes
- For a sweeter pancake, add 2 tablespoons of sugar or honey to the wet ingredients.
- Try adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
