Step-by-Step Instructions for Sour Cream Pancakes
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together one large egg, 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
