Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 120 grams Sourdough starter discard (unfed)
- 180 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Neutral cooking oil or butter (for greasing the skillet)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: sourdough starter discard, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the baking powder and baking soda to activate.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to spread the batter slightly, if needed.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
