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

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, mix the sourdough starter, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
  5. 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.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
  8. 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.
