Have some extra sourdough discard that you don’t know what to do with? Make some pancake batter! This is an excellent use for that sourdough discard. The little bit of tang from the sourdough provides the perfect contrast to maple syrup or fruit. It creates a delightful breakfast that I love when I want to make something a bit fancier or have some extra fun. Give these a try the next time you make pancakes or waffles!

Tips and Tricks
- Add fruits, maple syrup, or maybe even whipped cream for a sweet addition! Mini chocolate chips for even more fun!
- This recipe also works to make waffles in a waffle iron. No modifications to the recipe!
- I like to bulk prep these from time to time so I will have enough for the rest of the week or freeze the extras to have a quick breakfast on those busy mornings.
