Discarded Sourdough: A Rookie Question

I just started my second ever sourdough starter a couple hours ago. I'm very much a rookie to all of this.
My question regards discarded sourdough starter. Let us say I remove a cup of sourdough to discard each time I feed the starter. I have seen various recipes for things you can make with that discarded starter, because it is a perfectly good ingredient; however, I have been wondering if there is an even smaller, more "individual," use for it.
What I am getting at is this: I don't want to bake a loaf of bread, or a dozen biscuits, or so on, every time I discard a cup of starter. Can I actually make something with the cup of starter alone, and a few basic ingredients? Can I create a smaller pastry or baked item with that one cup of starter? If so, what would you folks suggest?
Thanks folks! :-)
