Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 set measuring cups
  • 1 set measuring spoons
  • 1 non-stick skillet or griddle
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and vegetable oil (or melted butter). Mix well.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if necessary.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  • Serve warm with your desired toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or yogurt.
  • For an extra boost of flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for later use. Reheat in a toaster or skillet.
