These extra fluffy sourdough discard pancakes are light, tender, and have a subtle tang that elevates your breakfast. They are quick, easy, and perfect for turning leftover sourdough discard into a delicious homemade meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) sourdough discard (unfed)
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (whole preferred, 2% or dairy-free like oat milk works)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (can substitute coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk sourdough discard, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be thick but pourable with some lumps.
  4. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to activate the leavening agents.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
  8. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while finishing the batch.
  9. Serve warm with desired toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Resting the batter is crucial for fluffiness. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles appear and edges set. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven or covered with foil. Adjust batter thickness with milk or flour if needed.
