Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 grams) sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 7 tablespoons (105 milliliters) all-purpose flour
Seasoning and Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Cooking and Serving Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter, for frying
- Additional softened butter, for serving
- Warm syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Whisk eggs and vanilla extract together in a petite mixing vessel, creating a smooth, aromatic liquid blend. Reserve momentarily for subsequent incorporation.
- In a separate compact container, thoroughly integrate flour, granulated sugar, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium chloride, ensuring uniform distribution of dry components.
- Transfer sour cream into a medium-sized mixing bowl, carefully fold in the previously prepared dry ingredient mixture. Stir minimally to prevent gluten development, maintaining a delicate texture.
- Gently introduce the whisked egg mixture into the sour cream batter, blending with soft, controlled movements until ingredients are just harmonized.
- Warm a nonstick griddle or cast-iron skillet over moderate low temperature, allowing a thin layer of butter to melt and coat the cooking surface evenly.
- Using a 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) measuring tool, delicately dispense batter onto the heated surface, creating circular pancake formations.
- Monitor pancakes closely, observing for telltale bubbles emerging across the surface and edges transforming to a subtle golden hue, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Execute a precise flip, allowing the reverse side to achieve a warm, golden-brown complexion for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer freshly prepared pancakes to serving plates, accompanying with softened butter and cascading warm maple syrup for an indulgent breakfast experience.
Notes
- Flour Power Matters: Too little or too much flour ruins pancake texture, so precisely measure 7 tablespoons for perfect fluffiness.
- Gentle Mixing Magic: Stir ingredients until barely combined, leaving small lumps that ensure tender, soft pancakes with delightful texture.
- Sizzling Surface Secret: Preheat your pan or griddle until it’s hot enough to create instant golden-brown surfaces when batter touches the surface.
- Bubble Flip Technique: Watch for tiny bubbles emerging across the pancake’s surface and slightly firming edges as your signal to gracefully flip.
- Warm Comfort Finish: Immediately transfer fresh pancakes to a plate, topping with melting butter and warm syrup for maximum deliciousness.
