Other simple, sourdough discard recipes:
- Sourdough Irish Soda Bread
- Sourdough Yorkshire Pudding
- Dutch Pancake without Sourdough – As much as we love sourdough Dutch baby pancakes, we also love the big puffy Dutch babies! Adding sourdough to your Dutch baby gives you a dense pancake with a delicious sourdough twist, but by leaving the sourdough out, you will get a fluffier pancake that is sure to have your kids amazed by its fluffy sides!
