Like everyone who nurtures a sourdough starter, I’m always looking for tasty ways of using the discard or even fed starter. I’ve posted three of those recipes in the last year: Quattro Stagioni Sourdough Pizza, Cauliflower Sourdough Crumpets and even a rich chocolate Bundt cake. And I’ve made many more that never got shared. 

In short, we are friends of sourdough! Most of the recipes call for an overnight rise in the refrigerator or the addition of another rising agent like baking powder or yeast if you want to use the dough or batter right away. 

Easy Sourdough Pancakes

Since you use discard for this recipe, the sourdough flavor is mild but still discernible. These got two thumbs up each from my three taste testers. The batter makes about 2 dozen pancakes. If you want to serve all the pancakes at once, put your oven on warm and pop them in there on a baking pan as you make them. Keep them covered with foil.

Ingredients
2 cups or 250g all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup or 227g sourdough starter
1 1/2 cups or 355ml milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons canola or other light oil

To cook: 1-2 tablespoons canola or other light oil
Nonstick griddle or skillet

Method
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.


Add the sourdough starter, milk, egg and oil. Whisk again until just combined.


Heat your nonstick griddle over a medium flame then use a heatproof basting brush to brush a little oil evenly on the griddle. Use a small measuring cup to pour pancake batter on the hot griddle to create four pancakes about 4-4 1/2 in or 10-11 1/2 cm wide. 


Cook the pancakes on the first side until bubbles form on the top and start to pop, then carefully flip the pancakes over one by one.


Cook them on the second side for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the pancakes are cooked through and golden brown.

Continue the process until all the pancakes are done. As mentioned above, unless you are serving them a stack at a time to the waiting hordes, you can put them on a pan in a warm oven covered with foil until you are ready to serve.

Serve the pancakes warm with butter and syrup.

Refrigerate leftovers, if any. They can be rewarmed in the microwave or toaster.

Enjoy!
