Sourdough Discard Pancake Recipe - Easy Sourdough Discard - Sourdough Discard Recipes
Sourdough Pancakes OR Waffles | What To Do With Discarded Sourdough | In Carina's Kitchen
This leftover sourdough starter recipe will make your week! With this batter (using discarded sourdough) you can make either sourdough pancakes OR waffles.
I love finding or creating new recipes so I can use my leftover sourdough. In fact, I rarely bake bread, and instead use my sourdough starter for all kinds of other delicious recipes. And this recipe is a real winner!
I’ve often made this batter for waffles. It produces the crispiest, lightest, slightly tangy waffles that you could imagine. This takes normal buttermilk batter and elevates it to the next level. When I make these waffles, I always get a huge portion, and they’re easy to freeze for another weekend. Just pop them in the oven to heat up a little, and I imagine you could even use a toaster to heat the frozen sourdough waffles.
However, I had never tried the sourdough batter as a pancake. These pancakes blew my mind! They are so delicious! They don’t go crispy like the waffles, and are more dense, but still light and extremely flavorful. I am already dreaming of when I can possibly have these sourdough pancakes again.
If you have a sourdough starter, promise me that you make these this weekend! You will not be sorry!
If you make this recipe, share the results with me! Comment below, or tag me on Instagram: @incarinaskitchen. It makes my day when you guys share your love of food with me. Happy cooking!

Sourdough Pancakes/Waffles
Makes about 15-20 medium size pancakes/waffles.
Macros in one pancake (out of a serving of 20): 99kcal, Fat 3.2g, Carbs 14.3g, Protein 3.1g
Step 1: Overnight Sponge
2 cups buttermilk (No buttermilk? No problem! Use 2 cups of regular milk and add 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Stir and stand for 5 or so minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients)
2 cups plain flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup sourdough starter, unfed/discard (here's how to make a sourdough starter:
Start with a big bowl and drop in the 2 cups of buttermilk (or make the buttermilk substitute with 1 cup milk to 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar). If making the buttermilk substitute, stand for 5 minutes, before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Now add in the plain flour, sugar and discarded (unfed) sourdough starter. Mix well, then cover and set aside at room temperature for 12 hours or overnight.
The next day, bright and early, continue with step 2.
Step 2: Waffle or Pancake batter
All of the overnight sponge
2 large eggs
1/4 cup melted butter (I use salted butter)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Crack open the eggs in a small bowl. You can mix these together before adding to the overnight sponge.
Your overnight sponge should be bubbly. Give it a quick stir, then add your eggs and butter to the mixture, stir well. Now add the salt and baking soda, stirring well. Watch what happens once your baking soda hits the batter! It puffs up to almost double the size and becomes a different consistency, almost like whipped cream.
Your waffle iron or skillet or pan should at this point be preheated on a medium heat. What are you having, waffles or pancakes? Grease your pan or waffle iron and add the batter. For waffle irons, bake according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For pancakes, wait until you see plenty of air bubbles on the top of you pancake and the sides start getting dry. At this point, they’re good to flip. Continue with the rest of your batter.
Serve immediately with your preferred pancake/waffle toppings. Personally I love berries and maple syrup!
Enjoy!

Everything You Need To Know About Cooking with Cast Iron:
If you have been hanging around the old farmhouse a while, you know how I loooove my sourdough starter. I have been nurturing it for over six years now.
I use it to make English muffins, pizza crusts, sourdough skillets (recipe coming soon), even doughnuts! But, you know what I make with it more than anything else? Pancakes. Deliciously fermented, fluffy, crisp around the edges, sourdough pancakes.
If that's so, why pray tell has it taken you so dang long to post the recipe??, you might ask.
I must admit, I have no excuse. I just never got around to it. Several people on Youtube and Instagram stories asked me about my pancake recipe. Your promptings finally kicked me into gear.
So, here it finally is my friends. Our sourdough pancake recipe. The one I have made every Saturday morning for probably like six years now.
Now, if you have been making recipes with sourdough starter, you may know that usually there is a waiting time to allow for fermentation, like in my sourdough English muffin recipe.
But, the wonderful thing about this recipe is there is no wait. You just need to have two cups of fed starter on hand. It doesn't even have to be room temperature. You can pull your glass bowl of starter out of the fridge, and as long as there is at least two cups of starter, you are good to go!
Now, this is of course assuming that you fed your starter and allowed it to ferment a little before you put it away last time. If you just stirred the flour and water in, and popped it into the fridge straightaway, it will need a little fermenting time.
And if this is all a bunch of jibberish, make sure to visit my post on all the benefits, how to, and why do (just made that up) of sourdough, in this post.
Our Sourdough Pancake Recipe Ingredients
2 cups fed Sourdough Starter
2 eggs
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Coconut oil for frying
Our Sourdough Pancake Recipe the Process
Although it certainly isn't a requirement for sourdough pancake makin', I prefer using cast iron. If you are brand new to cast iron cooking visit this post all about it.
To ensure the cakes don't stick, you will need to follow two rules.
Preheat the skillet before letting the batter hit it.
Only flip the pancake one time.
Mix the starter, eggs, coconut oil, honey and salt in a glass bowl. Add the baking soda last, and watch the starter foam up. That's my favorite part. :)
I like my sourdough pancakes to have that crispy fried edge. To do this, I start by preheating a tablespoon of coconut oil in my skillet.
After it is hot enough o produce a sizzle, I pour a ladle full of batter right onto the hot oil. At this point, I turn the stove down a bit so that the pancake has a chance to cook through without the bottom burning. Remember that flip only one time rule.
After the top is nice and bubbly, give it a little flip.
Allow it to cook another 30 seconds on the other side.
Repeat. Repeat.
If we plan to add blueberries and chocolate chips, we like to put them on the uncooked side while the cakes are cooking. I find that if the chocolate actually makes contact with the skillet, they tend to stick. This is why I don't stir them into the batter. Same goes for blueberries.
This little barefoot girl is my official kitchen helper. When I am through most of the batter, she likes to use the rest to make little pancakes for her dolls.
