Ingredients
Method
Sourdough Discard Pancakes
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sourdough discard, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Crispy Sourdough Discard Crackers
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sourdough discard and olive oil.
- Add the flour and salt. Mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two or four portions for easier rolling.
- Roll one portion of dough out as thinly as possible (about 1/16-inch thick).
- Transfer to a prepared baking sheet, brush with water, and sprinkle with toppings. Score the dough into cracker-sized pieces.
- Bake for 15-22 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Let cool completely.
Notes
For pancakes, consider adding blueberries or chocolate chips. For crackers, experiment with different flours and consider adding cheese for flavor.
