HOOK: Discard pancakes taste tangier, brown better, and use starter you were about to waste.
BEAT 1: Traditional pancakes are mild and fluffy. Discard pancakes add gentle sourdough flavor because fermented flour brings acidity and depth. [on-screen: Regular = mild. Discard = deeper flavor.] [b-roll: two pancake stacks side by side]
BEAT 2: For a simple swap, add 1 cup discard to your batter, then reduce milk by 1/2 cup and flour by 1/2 cup. [on-screen: Add 1 cup discard, subtract 1/2 cup milk + 1/2 cup flour] [b-roll: pouring discard into bowl]
BEAT 3: If your discard smells harsh or boozy, feed your starter first and use the next discard. Pancakes should taste cozy, not sharp. [on-screen: Smells harsh? Feed first.] [b-roll: close-up of healthy bubbly starter]
