This is my go-to recipe for pancakes. Not only does it use up two whole cups of sourdough discard, but they also taste amazing, and my kids gobble them right down. They are definitely healthier than your standard pancake recipe because of the sourdough, but they do not taste sour at all! Our favorite topping is homemade whipped cream and maple syrup. But they also go great topped with sliced bananas and pecans and a drizzle of syrup. Enjoy!
