About Discard Recipes
Starter discard is flour and water that has already started to ferment, so it adds a little flavor and tang to batters and doughs. These recipes put it into pancakes and crackers, and most of them need no long rise. Amounts are in grams, and each recipe says how much discard it takes so you can plan around your feeding schedule. Discard from a starter fed that day tastes mild, while a jar that has sat in the fridge for a week tastes sharper. Use whichever your recipe asks for.
