Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 1/2 cups Milk
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Oil (Canola or Vegetable)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Instructions

  • Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Step 2: In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, sour cream, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  • Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Step 4: Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.
  • Step 5: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Step 6: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
