Sourdough Pancakes

On 23.6.24, I used my sourdough discard for the first time. At this point it was 10 days old. Just before I was preparing to use it, I noticed that it had rose almost double its initial size. It was very gaseous and therefore, I thought it was active and ready.

The first recipe I used was the following: Makes 5 pancakes. Serving size is probably 1-2.

97 g starter (discard)
112 g plain flour
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup of milk (warmed)
1/2 frozen banana
1 egg.

The method was as follows:

1. Combine dry ingredients
2. Add wet ingredients
3. Let it sit for 5 minutes (it will bubble a bit because of the sourdough discard)
4. Fry 30 sec each side.
5. Serve with butter

The pancakes were indeed very fluffy and full! I enjoyed these pancakes so much that a few days later, on 25.6.24, I made more!

The next time I made them, I changed the ingredients as follows (methods are the same):

50-100 g starter
112 g plain flour
1 scoop of protein powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup milk (warmed)
1/2 frozen banana
1 egg.

These pancakes were delicious and I ate two for lunch the following day!
