Then one day I had some left over sour cream, and used that, mixed with milk, in place of buttermilk. The result was the tastiest and fluffiest pancakes I&#8217;ve made:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wet ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>About 100ml sour cream mixed with 200ml milk. The amounts are quite rough here, because I tend to use whatever sour cream I&#8217;ve got, and top up with milk (and rarely note exact measurements). I try to be a bit conservative with the milk &#8211; you can always thin the batter with some more milk later.<\/li>\n<li>1 egg<\/li>\n<li>50g melted butter<\/li>\n<li>1-2 tsps vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dry ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>125g strong white flour<\/li>\n<li>40g caster sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp baking soda<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mix the wets and drys separately, then mix them together and let them rest for few minutes for the raising agents to start working. The resulting batter should be a bit lumpy. How thick you make the batter is up to you &#8211; if you make it on the thicker side you&#8217;ll get thicker pancakes that will need to cook a little slower to cook all the way through in the pan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We love to have American style pancakes as a weekend breakfast treat.
