Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Unfed Discard Sourdough Starter
  • ½ cup Warm Milk between 105 °F and 115 °F
  • ¼ cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 5 tbsp Melted Butter

Instructions
 

  • Combine the sourdough starter, warm milk, and yogurt in a large bowl, stir until smooth and consistent
  • Add in the flour and baking powder, as it mixes it will become a slightly sticky and shaggy dough
  • Cover the bowl with a clean, damp dishtowel and let it rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours. The oven with the light on is perfect
  • On a clean lightly floured surface, dump out the bowl scraping the sides if it sticks. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth, you may need to add a little more flour as you work to ensure your hands don't stick.
  • Preheat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan on medium-high heat. Turn the exhaust fan on before you start, I always end up with a smoky kitchen.
  • Shape the dough into a flat ball or log and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll flat to about ¼" thickness
  • Brush melted butter on one side and place butter side down into the hot skillet. Brush the top side with butter while the bottom starts to cook.
  • Cook each side for about a minute watching for bubbles to form on the top. Check the underside to ensure it is golden brown to your liking and flip.
  • Cook for another minute, check the bottom for brown.
  • Once done transfer to a plate lined with a towel and wrap if you are going to be serving right away. Or transfer to a cooling rack if you are prepping them a head of time so they can cool without holding too much moisture.
  • Continue cooking process with the remaining pieces and enjoy!
