Sourdough Pancakes
Use your sourdough discard (the portion you remove before feeding your starter) for the tangiest, fluffiest pancakes you've ever had.
Time: 15 minutes · Yield: 10-12 pancakes
Ingredients
- ●200 g (about 1 cup) sourdough discard (straight from the fridge is fine)
- ●1 large egg
- ●2 Tbsp melted butter or oil
- ●120 ml (½ cup) milk
- ●1 Tbsp sugar or maple syrup
- ●120 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
- ●1 tsp baking soda
- ●½ tsp baking powder
- ●¼ tsp fine sea salt
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, egg, melted butter, milk, and sugar until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined — a few lumps are fine. Don't overmix.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until golden.
- Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
- *Storage:** Cool completely, stack between parchment paper, and freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster.
