Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings ½ cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups sour cream 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract butter to taste maple syrup Directions Slowly preheat your griddle or skillet to medium-low heat. Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add sour cream and gently mix together; batter may be slightly lumpy. Whisk eggs and vanilla together in a separate bowl, then add to sour cream mixture. Gently stir together without over mixing. Heat about 1 tablespoon of butter in your preheated skillet or griddle. Use a 1/4 cup measure to drop pancake batter onto the griddle or skillet. Allow pancakes to cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles appear all over the surface of your pancake, then flip. Continue cooking your pancakes for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Serve a stack of pancakes at a time with butter and syrup on top! Cook’s Note Be patient and wait for your skillet to preheat completely until nice and hot before you start to cook the pancakes. These pancakes are not like the usual flour recipes. These are very light, tangy, fluffy pancakes and you may need a couple practice runs flipping these pancakes. The trick is don't rush the preheating, cooking, and flipping... and make sure you have a good spatula!
