Einkorn Sourdough Discard Pankcakes
Freshly Milled Einkorn
Pancakes are a great and delicious way to use your freshly milled einkorn flour. The benefits of the freshly milled flour, the delicious moist pancakes packs flavor and nutritional value.
Milling my own flour has been a blessing for me to be able to provide these benefits to our family, but sometimes there is some left over. Now when milling flour, it should only be left out at room temperature for three days so the flour doesn't go rancid. It's not your typical store-bought flour where the bran and oils have been removed from the flour to keep it stable.

When milling, you know how precious every grain is and wasting is not something I like to do, especially with this goodness.
Making pancakes are a perfect way to use this freshly milled flour, or use up any extra left over you may have from milling..
Sourdough Discard
SPICES
We've got so many great elements in these pancakes. Healthy and delicious! Our freshly milled flour has so many benefits to them, then there's our sourdough discard, which also carries many benefits. Now we will add on our spices. Spices not only pack a punch of flavor to these pancakes, but they also have added health benefits! The blend of spices we use add the beautiful aromatic flavors to them. These pancakes can be made any time of year and definitely around the cooler fall months. The spices also carry many nutritional benefits such an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-microbial. Of course, these spices should be taken in moderation, but that's not something we need to worry about in this recipe seeing we are using small amounts but they give big flavors!
