Start your morning with a stack of irresistibly fluffy and tangy sourdough pancakes! This easy recipe makes the most of your sourdough starter discard, blending it with pantry staples like all-purpose flour, milk, and eggs to create a perfectly light and airy batter. A hint of vanilla and melted butter adds richness, while baking powder and baking soda ensure a tender, blistered surface. Ready in just 30 minutes, these pancakes are ideal for a cozy weekend breakfast or brunch. Serve them warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings for a mouthwatering meal thatβs both resourceful and delicious. Perfect for sourdough enthusiasts and pancake lovers alike!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter discard, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of neutral oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm by placing them in a low oven or covering with a clean kitchen towel.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
