Silver Dollar Pancakes

My friend Lara turned me onto this website, and I must say I frequent it more than I should.  When I found this recipe, I knew I had to make it.  I am always on the look out for something new for breakfast, not that pancakes are new, these are just different.   I like to wake up before my kids in the morning and make a good breakfast for them - everyone knows breakfast is the most important meal of the day right?   Anyway, when I saw this recipe for "The best silver dollar pancakes", I had to try them.  The first time I made the recipe exact, and I must tell you, when the writer of the original entry wrote “they are so light they practically levitate over the plate they're put on", he was not lying!!  They practically melted in your mouth.  They were good, but not what I thought a pancake should be, I need a little more substance in my pancake, so I adjusted the recipe just a little, and now these are my kids’ favorite.  Just yesterday Girl  told me yesterday that she is going to ask for these pancakes for her birthday breakfast (instead of her usual cinnamon roll request. Wow!) 

4 eggs
½  tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
¾ cup flour
2 cups sour cream
3 TBL sugar

Put eggs in a mixing bowl and stir until well blended.

Add all ingredients & mix well.

Heat griddle until it is nice and hot…I set mine at 400.  If you want *true* silver dollar size pancakes, drop spoonfuls of batter onto the griddle.  I like them a little bigger – about baseball size, so I drop about 1/8th of a cup onto the griddle at a time.....

When a few bubbles appear on top of the pancakes, turn them over and cook briefly...about 45-60 more seconds.

Serve with warm maple syrup.

My kids like to make a smiley face out of them...


PS...they also had banana strawberry smoothies to go with this breakfast.
