Ingredients

• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 240 ml Sourdough discard
• 120 ml Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 60 grams Butter (melted)
• 30 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Oil or butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, mix the sourdough discard, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until no large lumps remain. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense texture.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for pancakes. For waffles, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 5

Lightly grease your cooking surface with oil or butter using a pastry brush or paper towel.

Step 6

For pancakes, pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

For waffles, pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) and cook until the waffle is crispy and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes or waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
