This recipe was a fun project- combining the sourdough discard I’ve been taking care of, the scallions I’ve been growing on my kitchen table and the leftover corn from dinner last night. Together they created these delicious pancakes that went sooooo well with our dinner.

Tips:

• Corn and scallions are a great combination, but you can use any vegetables you have leftover in the refrigerator to make these.

• Make them ahead of time and keep warm in the oven until you are ready to serve.

• Topped with a salad would be delicious!
