Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 g) sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 7 tbsps (105 ml) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsps (30 g) sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsps (30 g) butter, for frying
- Additional softened butter, for serving
- Warm syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Preparation: Whisk eggs and vanilla in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined, creating a smooth, fragrant liquid.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, ensuring even distribution of dry components.
- Batter Creation: Fold dry ingredients into sour cream with minimal stirring, then gently incorporate the egg mixture until just blended, maintaining a light, airy consistency.
- Griddle Preparation: Heat a nonstick surface or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat, lightly coating with butter to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Pancake Cooking: Ladle batter onto the heated surface, forming circular shapes and allowing bubbles to form across the top, signaling the optimal moment for flipping.
- Flipping and Finishing: Carefully turn pancakes when edges appear golden and bubbles begin to pop, cooking the reverse side until achieving a uniform, warm bronze coloration.
- Serving: Transfer pancakes to warmed plates, garnishing with a pat of butter and drizzling with maple syrup for a luxurious breakfast presentation.
Notes
- Minimize Mixing: Stir batter gently to avoid tough, dense pancakes – overmixing develops gluten and creates rubbery texture.
- Temperature Control: Keep griddle at medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure even, golden-brown pancake surfaces.
- Bubble Indication: Watch for small bubbles forming across pancake surface – this signals perfect time to flip for ideal cooking.
- Batter Consistency: Expect slightly thicker batter compared to traditional recipes – sour cream creates dense, rich pancake texture.
