Discarded Spelt Sourdough Starter Pancakes
Instead of throwing out the discarded sourdough starter keep it aside in the fridge and make pancakes. This recipe for discarded spelt sourdough starter pancakes is fluffy, light, and tasty. These sourdough pancakes taste amazing and are a perfect way to use up the discard when you are feeding your starter. I keep a bowl of discarded starter in the fridge and then make pancakes after two feeds. This makes about 1 cup of starter, if you have more starter then adjust the recipe to suit what you have to use up.
This recipe was inspired by Mary's Nest recipe for discarded sourdough starter pancake recipe.

*I will reduce this in future in my video for YouTube I added 1/4 teaspoon but I now think this makes them too salty.
