Sour Milk Pancakes

I hear you out there. With your nose wrinkled and a look of "gross". But would I lie to you? Have I EVER lied to you about food? Have I?? No. And I am not lying to you about these. So there. 

These pancakes are amazing. They are light, fluffy, and soft. They are a little labor intensive, but so worth the effort. A little butter. Divine. A little maple syrup. Heaven. 

The bast part is that one batch makes more than my family of 4 can eat. So I use the extra to make half dollar pancakes for the girls to eat on weekday mornings. It's pretty much a win-win. They get tiny pancakes and I can make sure they aren't eating food from a box that has ingredients I can't pronounce. I should thank my sister, who can thank her friend for the recipe. :)

Ingredients:

2 eggs, separated
2 cups (scant) milk
2 Tablespoons white vinegar
2 cups all purpose- flour
1 Tbps sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 stick butter melted

What To Do

Put the 2 tbs of vinegar into a measuring cup. Add milk so it equals 2 cups. Let sit for ten minutes. Beat the egg yolks and add to milk mixture. Mix all dry ingredient together in a bowl. Add milk mixture and mix until dry is just absorbed. Try not to over mix. Add melted butter and mix again. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into batter. 

Now this part is a matter of preference  I put my batter in a old ketchup bottle. It makes it easier to make Mickey Mouse shapes, letters, numbers or half dollar size pancakes. It is all up to you. 

A Twist:

If you are feeling fancy you can add chocolate chips, raspberries, or blueberries (or any combination) to these. Just pour the batter on the griddle and then add pieces of the desired item(s). Then flip them and viola!! A super yummy pancake! My favorite is raspberry chocolate. 

What I do with the extra:
 I put them on a cookie sheet and then stick them in the freezer.


Once they are frozen, I stick them in a bag and pop them back in the freezer. Then on a crazy Tuesday morning all I have to do is microwave them for 30 seconds add butter and maple syrup, and I'm done!!
