Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create these delicious pancakes:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Unbleached all-purpose flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1 1/4 cups | Sour cream |
| 3/4 cup | Milk |
| 1 cup | Fresh raspberries |
| To taste | Powdered sugar, for dusting |
| To garnish | Fresh raspberries, sweetened with powdered sugar |
Instructions
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures a smooth texture in your pancake batter. -
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, and milk until well blended. This creamy mixture adds richness and moisture to the pancakes. -
Combine Ingredients:
Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. -
Heat the Griddle:
Heat a nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. -
Cook the Pancakes:
Pour or spoon approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Lower the heat to medium-low to ensure even cooking. -
Add Raspberries:
As bubbles start to appear on the surface of the pancakes, place 4-5 raspberries on top of each pancake. Gently press them down into the batter so they cook into the pancakes. -
Flip and Cook:
When the edges of the pancakes look set and bubbles have formed and popped on the surface, carefully flip the pancakes. Cook until the other side is lightly browned and the pancakes are cooked through. -
Serve:
Transfer the pancakes to a serving plate. Serve warm, topped with sweetened fresh raspberries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Mixing the batter too much can result in dense pancakes. Fold gently until just combined.
- Low to Medium Heat: Cooking pancakes over lower heat ensures they cook through without burning.
- Serve Immediately: Pancakes are best enjoyed fresh and warm from the griddle.
