Sour-cream pancakes

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 1/2 cups milk

  • 1 cup regular or light sour cream

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • butter, for cooking pancakes

  • fresh blueberries and raspberries, optional

Instructions

  • Microwave 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter in a small bowl until melted. In a large bowl, using a fork, stir flour with sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in centre. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with milk, sour cream, melted butter and vanilla. Pour into flour mixture and stir just until mixed.

  • Immediately melt about 1 tsp (5 mL) butter in a large frying pan set over medium heat. (Or save time by cooking on a large griddle or simultaneously in 2 pans.) Use a 1/4-cup (50-mL) measure to pour batter into hot pan. Depending on size of pan, add 1 to 3 more pancakes. Cook until surfaces are covered with bubbles and edges are lightly browned, from 2 to 3 min. Turn and continue to cook until pancakes are golden, from 2 to 3 min.

  • Place on a plate and keep warm in a low-temperature oven while cooking remaining pancakes. Delicious drizzled with maple syrup and scattered with fresh berries. Great with bacon or sausages.
