Fluffy Sour Milk Pancakes

Fluffy Sour Milk Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sour milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, start by combining the sour milk and egg. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
2. Gradually add the sugar and melted butter to the wet mixture, ensuring to stir continuously until all elements are fully incorporated.
3. In a separate large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This step helps to eliminate lumps and ensures an even texture in your pancakes.
4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine and will help keep the pancakes fluffy.
5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with some butter or cooking spray.
6. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to appear and the edges seem set, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes over and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2 minutes. Adjust the heat if necessary to ensure even cooking.
8. Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream.
   Tips:

• If you do not have sour milk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
• Keep cooked pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
