sourdough discard recipes

Sourdough discard recipes use the leftover starter that’s typically thrown away during feeding. Instead of wasting it, you can incorporate this batter into baking — adding moisture, flavor, and leavening to recipes like pancakes, waffles, muffins, or crackers. The discard contains active yeast and bacteria, giving baked goods a subtle tang and improved texture. These recipes are easy, flexible, and help reduce waste, turning surplus sourdough starter into tasty, homemade treats without needing additional yeast or ingredients.
