Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until beaten, then add the sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy—do not overmix.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the surface.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the hot skillet, spacing the pancakes about 2 inches apart.
Cook each pancake for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings.
