Sourdough starters are super simple to make; they only contain flour and water.<\/strong> Mine is made with brown rice flour (a whole grain that I definitely recommend using). The only thing that you’ll need is time and patience, for the natural yeasts to grow. And, a feeding schedule! I feed mine daily (or it goes in the fridge for longer storage if I’m not using it).<\/p>\n\n\n\nI also recommend using a scale (to weigh your flour and water) and a large mason jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you build your sourdough starter, you will discard some of the flour\/water<\/strong> combination when your jar gets too full. Instead of throwing it away, you can save it in the fridge for a few days and then use it in these pancakes when you’re ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\nPANCAKE INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThese Sourdough Discard Pancakes are made with pretty basic ingredients, besides the sourdough starter: butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, milk, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’d like to make these dairy-free,<\/strong> you can use a dairy-free butter alternative (or coconut oil) and a dairy-free milk (like almond milk) instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you’d like them to be refined sugar free,<\/strong> you can use 3 tbsp of maple syrup or honey instead of white sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPANCAKE BATTER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter adding all of your ingredients together, you’ll be left with a thick pancake batter. Depending on the flour\/water ratio in your sourdough starter, you may need to add more milk to your batter (if it’s too thick). If it’s too thin, you can also add a little more flour. I’d recommend adding one tablespoon at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also personalize these by adding any chocolate chips or nuts you’d like.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nEither way, you’ll be left with tangy, classic, thick, fluffy, Sourdough Discard Pancakes<\/strong> that are dying to be loaded up with butter and maple syrup. Yum!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nI can’t get enough of these Sourdough Discard Pancakes! They’re the easiest way to use up sourdough discard, and have a delicious breakfast too. Who can say no to pancakes?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
