Buckwheat Pancakes Made With Sourdough Discard

Like to try a new pancake recipe that takes advantage of some of that sourdough discard you’ve got? Try out my recipe for fluffy buckwheat pancakes (the batter works great for waffles as well). These pancakes are super soft and tender - they pick up some nuttiness and earthiness from the buckwheat. With warm maple syrup and a heap of fresh blueberries on top - I’d like to say it’s breakfast perfected! Hope you give it a try and love it as much as my family does!

Thank you for indicating measurements in gramms as well, it's really helpful! Will definitely try this recipe ❤️

This is a terrific recipe! I don't always have buttermilk on hand but I always have whole milk so I can make on a whim (however, I leave out the buckwheat). I fed my starter extra last night and the pancakes came out extra fluffy as expected. I have also made the night before, holding back the BS as suggested in a different post, and refrigerated for my husband to finish making in the morning. The overnight version also came out great. Thanks so much for sharing!

OMG, best pancakes by far n such a brilliant idea to coat w butter n maple syrup once cooked. Thank you. I am into my 6th day on sourdough starter journey n using d discard was timely. Super excited. Keeping my🤞.

Fabulous recipe! This really is the BEST pancake recipe ever. I’m tempted to overfeed my starter just to have more discard! Thank you!

Wow! This is the best pancake recipe I have ever tried! Thank you for sharing.

I made these this morning. They were a big hit.

OMG! These are amazingly good, so soft! I too thought it might be sour. This recipe only made four Belgium waffles, if you have a big family you need to double the recipe. I didn't have buck wheat, I only used AP flour. Will make these again!!

Oh my! this is the best sourdough pancake/waffles recipe! although i switched up buckwheat to rye flour, cause i don't have any, but it's really good!

now i have to make bread often to have a decent amount of discard to make these! lol Love it Thanks for the recipe ;-)

I love the recipe, it makes me feel a bit satisfied with my indefinite failure of making sourdough starter :)) it’s been a month n now I’m building your exact recipe of making the starter from the start, i hope it’ll have mercy on me this time, if it’s not let’s make a bunch of pancake of it then 😅

Thanks for sharing the recipe. The pancakes are really super delicious.

I thought they would taste a bit sour because of the amount of sourdough added, but they were super yummy and not sour at all. :)

Best waffles (I prefer waffles over pancakes) ever. Don't even need syrup or buttah. Rinse repeat!!! Thanks

Hi! Could you use an alternative flour for these? Like gluten free or almond flour? Thanks so much for your videos. They are so helpful!

[meagana]

Thank you for the recipe. I made with GF 1:1. We found them pretty dry. Do you have any suggestions other than increasing the milk?

[scottmalon]

Would a tablespoon of maple syrup to the batter substitute for sugar? 3:04

Why do you need Baking Power and Baking Soda if you are using sour dough starter?

[maiafelidae]

This has gotta be a Christmas present! Four videos in a row! I'm going to knock that starter out of its pants! Thank you, sweet Kristen!
