Sheet Pan Sourdough Pancakes

Sourdough discard pancakes made quickly and easily for a crowd. With a light and buttery flavor, everyone is sure to enjoy it.

This recipe for sourdough discard pancakes is super easy. They turn out light and fluffy with a crispy and buttery bottom. And guess what? You can make them on a sheet pan. It’s the perfect pancake recipe!

I made our usual pancake recipe even simpler by baking it on a sheet pan in the oven. The flavor and texture are just as good as traditional sourdough pancakes, but there’s no more need to stand over the stove flipping pancakes a few at a time.

Now you can serve these tasty sourdough pancakes to everyone all at once. Just cut, place on a plate, and enjoy.

The best part about this recipe is that you can use sourdough discard. You don’t need to feed or have an active starter. The discard can be taken directly from the fridge too.
