Mix together the sourdough starter discard, flour, and milk, then let it sit overnight to develop a tangy flavor. Make sure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly. This will give your pancakes a nice rise and a tangy flavor.
Let the pancake batter rest at room temperature overnight to develop a better flavor since the longer it ferments, the tangier the pancakes will be. The next morning, whisk in the remaining ingredients until smooth.
Cook the pancakes on a lightly greased skillet at medium heat until bubbles form and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Keep the pancakes warm while you finish cooking the rest of the batter, and serve with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, chocolate chips, fresh berries, or homemade whipped cream.
