Sourdough Pancakes
Having recently been wrestling with a sourdough starter. The next thing that came was a lot of sourdough discard. You can use the discard for a variety of things, but one that I wanted to try was pancakes.
These came out really good, no taste of some cheap mix or that Bisquick flavor, really solid fluffy pancakes. They also tasted great reheated in the microwave too. No shame. The original King Arthur Flour recipe called for an “overnight sponge”, but who the hell has time for that? I NEED PANCAKES NOW, it’s 9:30 a.m.
Thankfully Tastes Of Lizzy T featured a super easy recipe for Sourdough Pancakes without the need for the overnight sponge. Which is as follows:
