This is my new favorite sourdough discard recipe for anyone with a starter! The pancakes didn’t have any tangy flavor from the sourdough, but the sourdough did make them so airy, light, and fluffy. I don’t think I can ever make pancakes another way.
Dry ingredients:
190g all purpose flour
1tsp baking soda
2tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
25g sugar
Wet ingredients:
Approx. 240g Sourdough discard
240g milk
40 to 42g melted butter
2 eggs
Mix wet ingredients together, whisk dry ingredients together, combine and mix until no flour streaks are left. I let the batter rest for around 5 minutes while getting everything else together and warming the skillet. Sourdough pancakes are a little different to cook, you don’t flip them just because you see bubbles on top! Wait until you see bubbles AND you can see the edge of the pancake darken and slightly firm, it’s easy to lift an edge and check the pancake color. Flip and cook for another 30-60 seconds!
I love spreading butter on top when they’re still hot and it melts on the crispy side and is heavenly lol.
