Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup sourdough discard

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and sourdough discard until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a griddle over medium heat and butter it lightly. Drop 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes more. Stack and serve warm.

Notes

The batter thickens as it rests. If it gets too thick to pour easily, stir in a splash of milk. These pancakes are best eaten right away but reheat beautifully.
