Description
Delicious bites made from sourdough discard, coated in cinnamon sugar for a sweet and tangy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups sourdough starter discard (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (plus more for coating)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large egg (or egg replacer for vegan)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for coating)
- Neutral oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or sunflower)
Instructions
- Whisk together the sourdough discard, milk, egg, melted butter, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into the wet mix and fold gently until a soft batter forms.
- Heat oil in a pot until it reaches medium-high heat.
- Prepare a bowl with sugar and cinnamon for coating.
