Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients: the sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Aim for a consistent blend but don’t overmix.
  2. In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth and well combined. Gently incorporate this wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat, allowing it to warm up for about 5 minutes. Add a small pat of butter to coat the surface.
  4. Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the heated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form and the edges begin to look set.
  5. Gently flip the pancake using a spatula and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden-brown.
  6. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
  7. Serve your warm sourdough discard pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.
