Calories: 137kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup sourdough discard room temperature
- 1¼ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine ¾ cup room-temperature sourdough discard, 1¼ cups milk, 2 large eggs, and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined—small lumps are fine. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (325-350°F for an electric griddle). Lightly grease the surface with butter or vegetable oil. To check if it’s ready, sprinkle a drop of water on the surface—it should sizzle.
- Scoop about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake and pour it onto the preheated surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the second side is golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
- Stack the pancakes while warm and serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
