Today, Laney Crowell from Downtown Romantic helps you have your (pan)cake and eat it, too! Nothing makes a weekend feel more relaxed and special than a good ol’ stack of pancakes. This isn’t any regular pancake recipe though—the addition of sour cream makes them extraordinarily (almost shockingly) moist and fluffy. Best yet, with less than half a cup of flour and the option to use low-fat yogurt, they’re not going to make you feel lethargic or overly indulgent.

INGREDIENTS

Makes 6 5-inch pancakes

- 7 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/ 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream (Greek Yogurt or light sour cream also work)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter
- Maple syrup

DIRECTIONS

Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Let it slowly warm up until it’s really hot.

Stir the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in the bottom of a medium bowl. Add the sour cream and stir together very gently; it’s okay to leave the texture a bit uneven. The key to this recipe is to not over-mix! Whisk the eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl, and then stir them into the sour cream mixture—once again, being careful not to over-mix.

Melt a little butter in your skillet or griddle and pour the batter in, 1/4 cup at a time. Cook for about 2 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles appear all over the surface. Flip and cook for about a minute on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Serve with butter and a waterfall of maple syrup.

    I’ll be trying these at the weekend – I had not thought of putting soured cream in pancakes! Another tip for it, it makes the most indulgent and creamy scrambled eggs in the world, just mix a tablespoon into your egg mix before cooking!
