Ingredients

  • 74 grams (½ cup) buckwheat flour
  • 35 grams (¼ cup) all purpose flour
  • 1.5 grams (¼ tsp) fine salt
  • 4 tsp (1 tsp) baking powder
  • 3 grams (½ tsp) baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 42 grams (2 tbsp) honey
  • 125 grams (½ cup) sourdough discard 100% hydration
  • 180 grams (¾ cup) milk
  • 14 grams (1 tbsp) butter melted, plus more for pan

Instructions

  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat.
  • In a medium bowl combine flours, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together.
  • In a small bowl combine egg, honey, sourdough discard, milk, and melted butter. Whisk until uniformly combined.
  • Add wet ingredient mixture to dry ingredient mixture. Stir together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Leave batter lumpy to avoid over mixing.
  • Add about a teaspoon of butter to the griddle or skillet. When butter is melted pour on batter in ¼-cup portions.
  • When pancakes are bubbly on top, flip and continue to cook until pancakes are cooked through and golden-brown on both sides, about 2-4 minutes.
