Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 220g sourdough discard (active or unfed)
  • 1 cup 240ml milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar optional, for slightly sweeter results
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, milk, egg, and melted butter (or oil). If you prefer a slightly sweeter pancake, whisk in the sugar at this stage.
  2. In a separate small bowl, combine the baking soda and salt. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk gently until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine; avoid overmixing.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Bubbles will appear on the surface when the first side is ready to flip.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
