Whisk together the milk, water, and melted butter in a bowl. Then, add the sourdough starter/discard and sugar and whisk again.
Add in the flour and salt and mix until well combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Shape the dough into a ball by stretching the dough from the outside and pulling it into the center. Cover the dough again and let it rest for at least 8 hours at room temperature. Once the dough has risen well, move it to the fridge to chill overnight.
Remove the dough from the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Flour your work surface and hands, then stretch the dough into a rectangular shape about 1 inch in thickness. Cut out 3-inch rounds. Sprinkle the tops with cornmeal and place them on a tray to rest for an hour.
Preheat a nonstick pan on medium-low heat. Cook the rounds for about 8-10 minutes on each side.
Let the rounds cool on a wire rack. Slice through and enjoy!
