Start your morning on a tangy and fluffy note with these Quick Sourdough Pancakes, a delightful way to use up sourdough starter discard! Perfect for busy mornings, this recipe comes together in just 10 minutes of prep and delivers golden, airy pancakes that strike the perfect balance between sweet and tangy. Featuring pantry staples like all-purpose flour, milk, and a touch of vanilla, these pancakes get their unique flavor from the sourdough discard, while baking powder and soda ensure a light, tender texture. Cooked to perfection in a skillet until golden brown, these pancakes are perfect for topping with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt. With minimal effort and maximum flavor, this is the ultimate breakfast recipe to elevate your mornings.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the sourdough starter discard, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Scoop 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the pancake batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
