homemade pancakes

An easy, one-bowl recipe for fluffy homemade pancakes using leftover sourdough discard. The batter can be made overnight or on the same day- it's up to you!

Fluffy Sourdough Pancakes

(190 g) all purpose flour, spooned and leveled

tbsp. (24 g) sugar

fine sea salt

baking powder

baking soda

(240 g) sourdough starter (100% hydration, either leftover discard

eggs

(240 ml) milk, plus more as needed

tbsp. (42 g) melted unsalted butter

maple syrup

berries

sugar

For thick and fluffy pancakes

 Combine the wet and dry ingredients EXCEPT for the baking powder and baking soda. Whisk well, cover and chill overnight. The next day, sift the powders directly over the bowl and whisk again to combine. The texture should be thick, bubbly, and pourable. Add extra milk, 1 tbsp at a time, to thin out the texture if needed. Let the batter sit for at least 5 minutes to aerate; it should be nice and bubbly before using. The batter can be used cold.

For thin and fluffy pancakes

 Add all of the ingredients together and chill overnight. No need to add the leavening agents separately.  

Overnight Preparation:

In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together. Add the wet ingredients. Whisk gently until a smooth batter forms; some lumps are ok. 

In a large 10-inch skillet (cast iron or non-stick), melt a small pat of butter over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan around to coat.

Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, lowering the heat as needed. When the edges begin to puff up and bubbles appear on the surface, flip it over. Cook for another minute or so. Place the pancake onto a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest.

To continue, use a scrunched up paper towel to wipe out the skillet. Add more butter if the pan gets too dry. Repeat the cooking process until you are finished with the batter. 

To serve, stack the warm pancakes on a platter for your guests to help themselves. Have plenty of pure maple syrup, fresh berries and powdered sugar at the ready.

Same Day Preparation:

I tried the overnight + BP/BS version and it yielded the softest, fluffiest, most beautifully golden pancakes ever. But they were BLAND. Hubs compared the flavour to soda crackers. I used bubbly starter but there was no signature sourdough tang. No sweet, no salty, just nothing. Any suggestions for getting a flavour worthy of the texture?

Unbelievably delicious. My family is due hard chocolate chip commercial pancake mix lovers. They all agreed these were better by far! Me too. I ate too many.

I had the same issue. It sort of baked out when I cooked them but it was there.

I've made this recipe So. Many. Times. 

It's our go-to discard solution, so that's almost a weekly occurrence. Haha! Even my parents love coming over now to join in on the fluffy deliciousness. We usually go the overnight method and works a treat every time.

Thanks lady!

Fantastic recipe &amp; what a brilliant way of using up discard. My 3 year old daughter nicknamed these pancakes fluffcakes 😊.

Wow, best pancakes ever; just got the recipe from a friend yesterday and tried it this morning : thought it would be fitting for Thanksgiving.
Normally I do not like pancakes that much, but my family does , so I make them; but these ones were absolutely amazing, I am hooked.
Will be our new go to pancake recipe

Whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk.

Create a well in the middle and add wet ingredients. Stir just until combined, batter should look slightly lumpy. It should be slightly thick but should still be able to pour fairly smoothly. You may need to add a bit more milk.

Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat (or to 350°F). Lightly grease with butter or olive oil.

Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake and cook on one side until bubbles form and begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side about 1-2 minutes.

Fluffy Homemade Pancakes

all-purpose flour (0.07)

baking powder (0.03)

salt (0.03)

+2 Tbsp warm milk* (0.02)

Tbsp butter

Tbsp sugar (0.02)

tsp vanilla extract (0.14)

tsp cooking oil (0.05)

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.

Pour the bowl of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until combined. The mixture should be thick, but still pourable, and a little bit lumpy. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium. Once hot add enough cooking oil to coat the surface (I use about ½ tsp per pancake). Add the pancake batter to the hot griddle, ¼ cup at a time. Use the back of the measuring cup to spread the batter into a 4.5-inch diameter circle.

Cook the pancakes until bubbles form over the surface and begin to pop, the edges of the pancakes look dry, and the bottom is golden brown (about 60 seconds). Flip the pancakes and cook on the second side until golden brown (about 30 seconds).

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet between batches or as needed, until all of the pancakes have been cooked. Keep the pancakes warm on a plate under a towel or in a warm oven until all of the pancakes have been cooked. Serve warm with your favorite toppings!

An easy, one-bowl recipe for fluffy, homemade sourdough pancakes using leftover sourdough discard. The batter can be made overnight or on the same day- it's takes less than 10 minutes to do! 

Best Sourdough Pancakes 

(240 g) sourdough starter (sourdough discard or active sourdough starter)

I couldn’t make mine the my next day as planned so I made it the following day. It was still amazingly light and delicious! Also I made them in my waffle iron. My family loves this so much it’s now added to my go-to recipes. Thank you for sharing.

Delicious fluffy pancakes thank you for the recipe. I used only 1 teaspoon of baking powder as I don’t like the taste it can leave, my pancakes were fluffy and delicious.  I mixed the batter and made them immediately and will use this recipe again.  Thank you

Wow this recipe is fantastic. It has become a family favourite

This was my first time ever to make sour dough pancakes..they were delish! I will never make them any other way again!  Can you freeze them?

Im glad I found this recipe! 
Very fluffy and very delicious!

Best pancakes I ever made. Did overnight. Nice to have it ready to go in am. Added protein powder for my little carb loving boy. Blueberries too. Going to try the batter on my waffle iron.

These pancakes turned out delicious! My only change is that I actually mixed all of my wet ingredients together separately before adding them to the dry. The reason is because I had some relatively freshly fed (roughly 10 hours since feeding) starter that I used for this recipe (at 100% hydration, fed with whole wheat flour). This starter was much more solid and less mixable than if my starter was, say, 24 or more hours from the last feeding and much thinner.  It took a long time to fully incorporate the starter into the rest of the wet ingredients because it was so fresh and thick. I think this is an important point, because the final mix of pancake batter might have ended up being overmixed if I had added it all together at once! Ultimately though, I would use this recipe again :)

It’s been my go-to pancake recipe for two years now. My son started using it a month or so back. No going back for him either. Fantastic pancakes every time.

This is my go to sourdough pancake recipe. Easy to follow and delicious! I’ve tried a couple others and keep coming back to this one.

I made this this morning and did the day of version. They were so good, fluffy yet light and not dense and cakey. Truly the perfect pancake!

Every time we go camping I make the batter then freeze it in a Ziploc bag. It defrosts perfectly and tastes delicious!

This recipe is beyond perfect! So easy my toddler had fun mixing it all up with me. Fluffiest and most delicious flavor!

These were excellent!  Light, fluffy with crisp, buttery edges.  I made them this morning, but want to try the overnight method as well.  So, I divided the batter &amp; only added the leavening agents to half.

I had 40 gm more discard to use than specified, so I subbed the additional starter for 20 gm each of the flour &amp; milk.  The sourdough flavor still wasn’t too pronounced for my kids.

I really appreciated your detailed directions.  The cooking times &amp; tips for keeping them warm worked well for me… it was nice not to have to guess and second-guess.  I loved the reminder to wipe out the pan between batches.  That was something that, when I read it, I remembered seeing my mom do.  But, somehow I’d forgotten over the years &amp; that leads to a smelly, smoky kitchen.  

Thank you for the recipe!!

Great recipe, first time I managed to get American pancakes as fluffy as these turned out! 😀 🤗

This is a great recipe. Easy, quick and so light and fluffy. I just added vanilla to my batter.
