This recipe for a stack of tiny, very rich & moist, sweet pancakes was given to me by a friend, who adapted it from The Breakfast Book by Marion Cunningham. I am not certain how much the recipe has changed in translation, but I believe it is very similar to the original!
This recipe will yield about enough for 3 people with medium appetites or 2 people with large appetites!
Ingredients:
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup sifted flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix ingredients until batter is smooth. Heat a skillet with a small amount of canola oil on medium heat until hot.
These little pancakes are meant to be about 2-1/2 inches in diameter…so using a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon to ladle the batter into the skillet gives just about the right size…
Many pancake recipes recommend looking for bubbles across the surface of the pancake, as a sign that it is time to flip the pancake…just note, that if the pan is not very hot, the bubbles may not form at all, & if it is maybe a little too hot, bubbles will form very rapidly…
I just usually peek at the bottom of the pancake with a spatula for a golden brown color & then flip it over & cook the other side until golden brown…
Mmmmmm….
Enjoy!
