Fluffy, and tender sourdough pancakes are easy to make using sourdough starter or discard. They're extra flavorful with a golden brown finish and crisp buttery edges!
Whisk dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, Add wet ingredients and continue mixing gently until combined. It should be smooth, but some small lumps are okay. Let the batter sit 5-10 minutes while you preheat the pan.
Preheat griddle to 250° F.
Melt a small pat of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Coat the pan by swirling the butter around. Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet. Cook 1-2 minutes. When the pancake puffs up and bubbles start to appear, flip the pancake. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
Repeat the process. You can keep these warm in the oven on a cookie sheet while cooking the rest of the pancakes. Serve with maple syrup and fresh berries.
