Fluffy Sourdough Discard Pancakes
These pancakes are fluffy with a lil tang to them! After I created my own sourdough starter I didn't know how to actually bake bread with it (which was my fault since it took my starter 18 days to be ready and I had plenty of time to learn how to use it during that time). So I decided to play around with how I could make recipes using the sourdough discard. This is the first recipe I created using the sourdough discard, and I am so thankful it was because I like to have pancakes on hand in the freezer for when we have guests over in the morning! Now, I have everything on hand to make them when we're in a pinch! I hope you all enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, * remove 2 Tbsp + 1 tsp so we can make this self-rising
- 2 cups oat flour, *can also be subbed for all purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp baking powder, *to make the flour self-rising
- 1 tsp salt, *to make the flour self-rising
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 3 1/2 cup milk + 1/4 cup
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- nonstick cooking spray
Toppings
- blueberries
- chocolate chips
- bananas
- strawberries
Instructions
- Sift flours, baking powder and salt into a big bowl. *note remember to only add baking powder and salt if you are not using self-rising flour!
- In a separate bowl, mix together sourdough discard, 1/4 cup of milk, eggs and canola oil together.
- Add 3 1/2 cups of milk to the flour, use a whisk to stir it gently into the flour.
- Pour in your egg mixture to the flour & continue whisking. Be sure not to over-whisk, we are trying to avoid whipping air into the pancake batter.
- Turn on your skillet. Once your skillet is hot, spray nonstick spray on it and take spoonfuls of batter and pour it onto the skillet (if you want, add your desired toppings now or wait to top once cooked). *Make sure to add nonstick spray to your skillet in between every pancake so that they don't stick to the pan*
