Nothing to see here guys. Just the BEST PANCAKES I’ve ever had in my life. Not much else.

Should I keep on talking ?

How to make Sourdough Pancakes ?

I love these pancakes because they allow me to use something that I would usually throw away, and turn into something people end up fighting for. Yes, this pancake recipe uses sourdough discard, the portion you usually throw away before feeding your starter.

To make Sourdough Discard Pancakes there are a couple things you need to keep in mind:

  1. I’m using a sourdough starter with 100% hydration. This means that I use equal parts water to flour.
  2. This recipe is prepared the night before to allow for optimal fermentation. This is important as it gives your pancakes a lot Tang and makes them very very light and fluffy. Trust me, this is the way to go.

First, you need to start by making the sponge. This is the part of the batter that will sit on your counter overnight to slowly ferment and develop both texture and flavor.

To make the sponge combine : 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of Sourdough discard, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar and 1 1/2 cups of cold buttermilk. Mix all your ingredient until you get a thick batter. Cover and let rest in warm place overnight.

Sourdough Pancake Sponge

After 8-12 hours of fermentation, your sponge should be very light and bubbly. Add 2 large eggs, 3 Tbps. melted butter, pinch of salt, 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Combine all your ingredients to form a batter.

Heat your non-stick pancake skillet on medium heat and lightly brush with butter. Dollop 1 ladle of batter onto your pancake skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1 minute.
