Sourdough Discard Pancakes

I came across a super simple sourdough discard pancake recipe from a homestead magazine email newsletter. 

That's it. 

I had some discard to use up, so Jaron and I made pancakes Saturday morning. So easy. 

The hardest part for us was melting the butter since we don't have a microwave. I threw it in a metal bowl in the toaster oven on the toast setting while I mixed the rest of the batter. 

I saved the baking soda for last. Holy cow, did it inflate the batter! Big reaction to the sour in the sourdough. 

I normally pour off the liquid that accumulates at the top of the sourdough starter jar, but I didn't know if I would have enough discard for the recipe if I dumped it off, so this time I stirred it back in. I think that made the batter more runny than it should've been. It still cooked up well! Just made gigantic pancakes. 😂

This one got poured in the pan before I realized I hadn't stirred in the butter. Oops. Still in the toaster oven. 

Turned out okay though. I mixed the butter in for the rest of the batch. Note to self - start with room temp ingredients. The butter firmed up when I mixed it into the cold batter so there were butter clumps in the bottom of the bowl. 

Jaron loved them enough to eat two whole gigantic pancakes! 

Definitely a keeper recipe.
