Sourdough Discard Pancakes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix 1 cup of sourdough discard, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
Sourdough discard pancakes have a rich history rooted in resourcefulness and sustainability. Originating from the need to minimize food waste, this beloved dish has gained popularity in recent years as a delicious way to utilize excess sourdough starter. Chefs and home cooks alike have embraced the practice of incorporating discarded sourdough starter into pancake batter, resulting in a tangy and flavorful twist on the classic breakfast favorite. This trend has particularly flourished in regions with a strong artisanal bread culture, such as San Francisco and Portland. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in trendy brunch spots and cafes that prioritize locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. The key to perfecting sourdough discard pancakes lies in achieving the ideal balance of tanginess from the starter and light, fluffy texture. Experimenting with alternative methods, such as adding fresh fruit or spices, can also elevate this dish to new heights.
