Method
- Combine sourdough discard, milk, and egg in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- Add flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt, then mix gently to form a soft batter.
- Stir in melted butter and avoid overmixing to keep pancakes light.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease the surface.
- Pour batter into rounds and cook until bubbles form and edges set.
- Flip and cook until golden and fluffy, then serve warm.
Notes
For softer pancakes, avoid overmixing and cook gently. For crispier edges, cook longer with slightly higher heat. Freeze cooked pancakes on a tray before storing. Handle gently when flipping. Add fruit or chocolate chips for variation. Store leftovers in refrigerator up to three days.
