56/365: craving

I have been craving pancakes all week long. Today I finally made the Pioneer Woman pancakes. Actually it is the recipe from the Marlboro Man's grandmother, Edna Mae. She cooked for cowboys for years, so the recipe had to be good! They have sour cream in them, which is unusual--not going to lie. However, with the sweetness of the syrup it really works. My craving is satisfied! They're so delicious!

Here's the recipe: Edna Mae's Sour Cream Pancakes

1 cup sour cream       7 tablespoons all-purpose flour     1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt       1 teaspoon baking soda                 2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla   Butter                                            Maple or Pancake Syrup

1. Place an iron skillet or griddle (or whatever) on medium-low heat. You want to get it nice and hot.
2. Place sour cream in a medium bowl. Dump in flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
3. Stir together very, very gently. (According to PW, it's not necessary to have the mixture totally combined so that there will be interesting texture.)
4. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.
5. Add the vanilla to eggs and stir to combine.
6. Pour the egg mixture into the sour cream/flour mixture.
7. Stir together gently. Don't worry about the mixture being totally combined; a little white and yellow swirling is fine! (PW's words!)
8. Melt about a tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet 1/4 cup at a time.
9. Cook for 1-1 1/2 minutes, then flip the pancakes over. Cook for another 45 seconds and remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
10. Stack the pancakes as high on a plate as your appetite dictates. See how high you can go-make it a personal challenge! (PW's word's not mine!)

*Confession: I used baking powder (it was all I had) and just added a little extra because that's what some website told me to do. I googled it.
