Ree & Leigh{Anne}:Edna Mae’s Sour Cream Pancakes

by Leigh Anne on March 12, 2010

I love a good pancake.

I love a good light and fluffy pancake.

I love pancakes for breakfast or for dinner.

No thin, skinny pancakes at our house, unless it is a yellow pancake!

If we are going to have pancakes for breakfast it is usually Sunday morning.

A nice warm, fluffy pancake with butter and covered with real maple syrup – yum!!

I was excited to give Pioneer Women’s  Sour Cream Pancakes a try.  Named after Marlboro Man’s grandmother this recipe has been served on the ranch for years.

Using 1 cup of sour cream to 7 Tbsp of flour makes for a very light pancake.  I used full strength sour cream as I don’t believe in that low fat/non fat stuff!

To make them more authentic you need to cook them up in your cast iron skillet just like they do on the ranch!

We really enjoyed Edna Mae’s pancakes but if you are looking for a not quite so fluffy version or you don’t have any sour cream in the house here is another pancake recipe our family enjoys.

And you can find some of our favorite pancake syrups here and here.

How do you like your pancakes – thick and fluffy or thin?

I am also looking for a good whole wheat or whole grain pancake recipe – do you have one to share?

Edna Mae’s Sour Cream Pancakes

1 C sour cream
7 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/ 2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Butter
Maple syrup

Warm up your griddle, iron skillet or frying pan at a medium heat.  Get it nice and hot but not smoking.

In a bowl combine sour cream with sifted dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, & salt).

In separate bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla together

Pour egg mixture into sour cream/flour mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are mixed well.

Melt about a tablespoon of butter onto griddle. Using a ladle pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the pan, making about a 4 inch in diameter pancake

Cook each side of the pancake for about 1 to 2 minutes, flipping when the edges start to brown and cake begins to bubble.

Remove from heat and stack high, top with a pad of butter and drizzle with lots of maple syrup!

Makes about 8 pancakes

Pesto Chicken

March 10, 2010

I told you on Monday that I am not a big fan of St. Patrick’s Day.  In fact most years I just totally ignore it and don’t even wear green.  I never serve Irish food or even green food for dinner either.   I’m usually up for a good holiday celebration but I guess St. Patrick’s [...]

Lucky Leprechaun Cookie Bark

March 8, 2010

Usually I just ignore St. Patrick’s Day.  Maybe it’s my lack of Irish blood.
So I was planning to just let it slip by again this year until during an email exchange with a blog reader we came up with the idea for some Lucky Leprechaun Cookie Bark!
I really thought I was done with cookie bark.
First [...]

Sewing, Quilting and a Giveaway

March 4, 2010

There has been quite a bit of sewing going on around here lately – it’s that time of year.
I love to sew.  I learned to sewing in the 4th grade through the 4-H program.  From that point on I pretty much made most of my own clothes until I started having babies.  Back then it [...]

Birthday Cake

March 3, 2010

I guess you could call me a cake snob.  I love cake but it has to be really good cake for it to be worth the calories. Let me just say that the vanilla cake I enjoyed at The Chocolate in Provo  this last weekend was definitely worth the calories!
Even though I love cake I rarely [...]
