The Secret Ingredient: SOUR CREAM! Yes, sour cream is the unexpected game-changer that takes pancakes to the next level. It adds richness, moisture, and a slight tang while keeping them incredibly soft and fluffy.
Why Does Sour Cream Work? ✔ Extra Moisture – Prevents pancakes from drying out. ✔ Rich & Creamy Texture – Creates a soft, melt-in-your-mouth bite. ✔ Acidic Boost – Reacts with baking soda for a perfect rise.
How to Use Sour Cream in Pancakes Simply replace some of the milk or buttermilk with sour cream. Here's an easy tweak: ✅ Use ½ cup sour cream per 1 cup of milk or buttermilk in your favorite pancake recipe. Bonus Tip: For even fluffier pancakes, separate the eggs and whip the egg whites before folding them into the batter!
Ingredients: – 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour – 1 tbsp sugar – 1 tsp baking powder – ½ tsp baking soda – ½ tsp salt
– ½ cup sour cream – ½ cup milk – 2 eggs (separated) – 2 tbsp melted butter – 1 tsp vanilla extract

In another bowl, mix sour cream, milk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla.Beat egg whites separately until soft peaks form, then fold them into the batter.
