sourdough discard recipes : waffles or pancakes

Sourdough pancakes bring a delightful change to your breakfast routine with their mild tang, adding a richer and more nuanced flavor compared to traditional pancakes. You might think their sourdough flavor would overpower syrup or other toppings, but rest assured: they complement sweet and savory additions beautifully. As for sourdough waffles, they're just as versatile—perfect with a drizzle of maple syrup or as a base for savory toppings like fried chicken.

    For a detailed, step-by-step guide on turning your discard starter into the best waffles, check out our blog post on sourdough waffles.

    For whole-grain waffles, substitute some or all of the all-purpose flour with white whole wheat flour or premium whole wheat flour.

    If you don’t have a sourdough starter, you can make your own using our homemade sourdough starter recipe. If starting from scratch, you'll need to feed it for 5 to 7 days before it's ready to use. For a quicker option, you can purchase our classic fresh sourdough starter, which will be ready for baking shortly after delivery.
