In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, milk, and egg until smooth. Add sugar and melted butter, mixing well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings and enjoy the comforting tang of these nourishing sourdough discard pancakes. For additional inspiration, you might like these Sourdough Discard Pancakes from Sugar Geek Show, which offer a similar fluffy, tangy appeal.
