Description

Delightful and crunchy cinnamon sugar crisps made from sourdough discard, perfect for snacking or dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed or fed)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or 3/4 cup whole wheat + 1/4 cup AP)
  • 23 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • For the topping: 2 tablespoons granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • A light brush of melted butter

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together sourdough discard, flour, sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla until a soft dough forms.
  2. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 6–8 turns; let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, rolling each piece thin (about 1/16 inch).
  5. Brush each round with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
  6. Bake for 8–12 minutes until edges are brown and centers feel firm; watch closely.
  7. Cool on a wire rack until crisp before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

Roll the dough very thin for a proper snap and rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
