Ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0 maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 fresh fruit (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract together until smooth and fully combined.

Step 2

In a separate smaller bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Melt the unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once melted, allow it to coat the pan evenly and reserve a small amount for greasing between batches.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter into the skillet to form individual hot cakes. Leave space between each for spreading.

Step 6

Cook the hot cakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Serve the hot cakes immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
