10 Minute Sourdough Pancakes with Discard

4.75 from 20 ratings

Sourdough Pancakes are an easy, one bowl recipe that comes together in less than 10 minutes. These pancakes are fluffy, soft but have a crispy, golden brown edge. This is a great way to use up any sourdough discard you may have in your fridge. Enjoy them warm with butter, maple syrup and fresh fruit.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 17 pancakes

Ingredients  

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar (can sub any other sweetener)
  • 1 1/2 cup milk (or any other milk of choice)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, sourdough discard, coconut sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add in the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Whisk until just combined, do not over-mix, some clumps are ok!
  • Heat a skillet over medium to low heat and then add in some grass-fed butter. Use a 1/4 cup and add the pancake batter to heated skillet.
  • Wait for bubbles to form on the edges, about 1-2 minutes, and once they have popped flip immediately and cook on the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute more.
  • Serve these pancakes immediately with butter, maple syrup and fresh fruit.

Notes

  • If making flavored pancakes, like chocolate chip or blueberry, then I recommend adding the mix-ins directly onto the uncooked side of the pancake once you pour the batter onto the hot skillet. This ensures you have the perfect amount in each bite.
  • To make the pancakes golden brown and crispy, make sure there is a bit of hot butter or oil in your pan.
  • Properly pre-heat your skillet. I like to turn mine on medium low heat and allow to warm up for 2-3 minutes. Then, I add my butter and then add my batter.
  • Use a 1/4 cup for the perfect uniform pancakes.
  • You can tell a pancake is ready to flip when the bubbles have formed and popped on the edges, typically 1-2 minutes.
