Sourdough Pancakes

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

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, egg, melted butter, milk, and sugar until smooth.
  2. 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.
  3. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
  6. *Storage:** Cool completely, stack between parchment paper, and freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster.
