1 tbsp kosher salt
4 large eggs

Instructions
Maple Butter: Pour maple syrup into a small saucepan set over medium-high. Bring to a boil, and then remove from heat before it boils over. Whisking vigorously, gradually add cold butter and 1⁄2 tsp kosher salt. Mixture will begin to thicken when all the butter is added. Set aside.
Pancakes: Sift flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 1 tbsp kosher salt into a large bowl. Stir to combine.
Stir eggs, milk and sour cream in a medium bowl un- til combined. Using a spatula, gradually stir egg mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add 2 tbsp batter to pan. Cook until bottom is golden-brown, and then flip and repeat. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve pancakes with Warm Maple Butter. Leftover butter can be refrigerated for 1 week.
