Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the sourdough discard, egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth. Make sure the mixture is at room temperature for the best results.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
