An easy, one-bowl recipe for fluffy, homemade sourdough pancakes using leftover sourdough discard. The batter can be made overnight or on the same day- it's takes less than 10 minutes to do!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

    spooned and leveled, 190 g

  • 2 tbsp. sugar

    24 g

  • 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 cup sourdough starter

    240 g

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk

    plus more as needed, 240 ml

  • 3 tbsp. melted unsalted butter or oil

    plus more to coat the skillet, 42 g

  • Pure maple syrup
  • Fresh berries
  • Powdered sugar

Directions

  1. 1

     Combine the wet and dry ingredients EXCEPT for the baking powder and baking soda. Whisk well, cover and chill overnight. The next day, sift the powders directly over the bowl and whisk again to combine. The texture should be thick, bubbly, and pourable. Add extra milk, 1 tbsp at a time, to thin out the texture if needed. Let the batter sit for at least 5 minutes to aerate; it should be nice and bubbly before using. The batter can be used cold.

  2. 2

    Preheat your oven to 250 F.

Easy Fluffy Pancakes

Easy Fluffy Pancakes

This recipe makes the best fluffy pancakes I&#8217;ve ever made, and I&#8217;ve spent years tweaking it for the perfect flavor and texture. I&#8217;ve increased the butter and vanilla slightly (feel free to use less, but I promise the quantities below make these pancakes taste amazing). I use unsalted butter in this recipe, but salted is perfectly fine. If you use salted butter, consider reducing the salt by 1/8 teaspoon. When measuring the flour for these pancakes, either weigh it or use the &#8220;spoon and level&#8221; method: Fluff the flour, spoon it into the measuring cup, and level off the top with a flat edge. You can see me do this in our video!

About this Recipe

Ready to transform that sourdough discard into the fluffiest, most delicious pancakes you've ever had? These Best Sourdough Pancakes are an easy, one-bowl solution to a weekend breakfast that tastes truly special.

What sets these pancakes apart is their incredible versatility and simple preparation. Whether you prefer to mix the batter the night before for an effortless morning or whip them up on a whim, the sourdough starter adds a subtle tang and remarkable lightness that store-bought mixes can't match.

Prepare for a stack of deeply flavorful, tender-crumbed pancakes with perfectly golden edges. Each bite offers a delightful balance of tang from the sourdough and a touch of sweetness, making them utterly irresistible. Despite their gourmet taste, the batter for these homemade sourdough pancakes comes together in less than 10 minutes, making them a surprisingly quick and satisfying meal for any day of the week, perfect for feeding a crowd of ten.

These sourdough pancakes are wonderfully adaptable. While the recipe calls for melted unsalted butter, you can easily use your preferred cooking oil for coating the skillet. For toppings, pure maple syrup is a classic, but don't hesitate to pile on fresh berries for a burst of fruitiness or dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

These Best Sourdough Pancakes are ideal for a leisurely weekend brunch or a comforting family breakfast. Serve them warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup and a colorful scattering of fresh berries for an inviting presentation.
