The fluffiest pancakes you'll ever eat, made with your sourdough discard. Create a waste free sourdough routine by making these pancakes with your discard.

Ingredients

  • 100 g Sourdough starter discard
  • 200 g All Purpose Flour (you can sub up to 100g whole wheat flour)
  • 200 g Milk (you can sub with buttermilk if you'd like (see notes))
  • 50 g Butter (Melted)
  • 40 g Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 8 g Baking Powder
  • 3 g Salt ((a pinch of salt))
  • 5 g Vanilla Extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the sourdough starter, milk, egg, butter, vanilla and sugar to a bowl. Whisk well until just combined.

  2. 2

    Now add the flour, baking powder and salt to the liquid ingredients and whisk until well combined and a batter forms.

  3. 3

    This batter is ready to use straight away (see notes below if you want to ferment the batter overnight).

  4. 4

    Heat a large frying pan and add a little oil and butter to grease it. Cook the pancakes to your desired size (use a mini soup ladle to scoop out the mixture). Let all the bubbles fully form on the surface before you flip them over. A lower heat is better as it lets the bubbles develop without burning the outside.
