Just in time for Sunday morning. Pancakes are one of the most deceptively complex things to get right. These are phenomenal.
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda together in a medium bowl.
2. In another medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, sour cream, butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix them just enough to combine completely, but not too much, and don’t whisk out all the lumps.
4. Let batter sit for 10-12 minutes before cooking.
5. Grill on a lightly oiled skillet for about 1 minute per side, flipping once.

Do you taste the sour cream in the finished pancakes?
Not at all. The sour cream has more to do with the chemistry going on in pancakes than actual taste. They are light, tender, and flavorful but you can’t even taste a hint of sour cream or buttermilk.
The vanilla extract is key.. that stuff rox….. a dash of cinammon works too
