Fluffy, tender, and delightfully rich, Sour Cream Pancakes (Livanecky Z Kysele Smetany) are a unique twist on classic pancakes, blending the tangy creaminess of sour cream with a beautifully light texture. Whipped up in just 25 minutes, these Czech-inspired pancakes strike the perfect balance between delicate sweetness and savory depth, thanks to the harmonious blend of sugar, eggs, and a touch of salt. The thick batter cooks into golden-brown rounds that are irresistibly soft and perfect for soaking up your favorite toppingsβwhether itβs a drizzle of syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a handful of fresh berries. Ideal for lazy weekend brunches or a quick weekday treat, this easy recipe will elevate your pancake game with its simple yet flavor-packed ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, eggs, and sugar. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and airy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The batter will be thick, so use the back of a spoon to gently spread it into a round shape if needed.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as powdered sugar, fresh berries, or syrup.
