Author Notes
Pancakes are perfect for a lovely spring brunch. This recipe is even more special because I elevate a standard batter with velvety sour cream and fresh apples. The sour cream makes them extra-fluffy and flavorful. The apples add sweetness, a bit of crunch, and color. The best part? You can make a full batch of pancakes and keep them warm in an oven on low heat until your guests arrive. Set up a DIY topping bar with maple syrup, butter, sour cream, bacon, you name it, and each guest can customize their plate. —Samantha Seneviratne

Ingredients
-
2 ½ cups
all-purpose flour
-
3 tablespoons
granulated sugar
-
1 ½ teaspoons
baking powder
-
1 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1 teaspoon
kosher salt
-
1 ½ cups
whole milk
-
1 cup
Daisy Sour Cream
-
2
large eggs
-
4 tablespoons
unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
-
2 cups
chopped apple (optional)
-
Maple syrup, for serving
Directions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use the whisk to fold the batter together, but stop before the mixture is smooth and fully combined; the batter should be lumpy. Set the batter aside.
-
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt and start to bubble. Working in batches, drop a scant ¼ cup of the batter per pancake in the heated pan.
-
Top each pancake with some chopped apple, if using. Let cook until the edges are set and bubbles start to appear in the center, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the pancakes are set throughout, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Wipe out the pan if the butter starts to burn, then repeat, cooking off the remaining batter and adding butter between batches as needed.
-
Serve pancakes warm, with butter and maple syrup, if desired.
