Sour cream adds a dose of complexity to standard pancakes.
Ingredients
1/2 Cup flour
1 Teaspoon sugar
pinch of salt
1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
1/4 Cup sour cream
2 tablespoons buttermilk
Directions
Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In another small bowl, whisk egg and yolk with sour cream and buttermilk until blended. Add egg mixture to dry indredients and whisk until just combined.
The batter should be a little lumpy. Allow batter to rest for a couple of minutes so the baking soda can activate and bubble a bit.
Lightly oil a nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat. Drop batter by the tablespoon into the pan and cook for about 1 - 2 minutes until lightly browned on the bottom. Flip with a spatula and cook until other side is lightly browned.
Remove pancakes from skillet and arrange on a plate or platter. Lightly oil skillet to cook each batch of pancakes.
Top pancakes with Eggs Benedict ingredients or a dab of sour cream and caviar.
