Best Fluffy Pancakes

Submitted by luvinmykids

"The other pancake recipe I posted just isn't as fluffy as I would like, and this is the answer to my long search."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 12 golden penny pancakes
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sour milk (may need up to 1/2 cup more if batter is too thick)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar

directions

1. (If you do not have sour milk or buttermilk, add 1 tablespoons vinegar to a 2 cup measuring cup and fill to 1 cup mark with milk. Let set for about 5-10 minutes before adding to ingredients.)
2. Beat eggs with wire whisk.
3. Add 1 cup milk and oil and whisk until frothy.
4. Preheat lightly greased griddle to 300°.
5. Add flour and sugar (and extra milk if needed)and mix well. There will be little lumps left - those are okay.
6. When griddle is hot, pour batter on by 1/3 cupfuls.
7. Cook for about 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
8. Best when served immediately with butter and syrup.

I followed your link here from #1633 when I realised I didn't have any biscuit mix. I'm glad I did - I made them with Sprite instead of sour milk, and wow - they puffed up so high they looked like a birthday cake! Really light and fluffy and enjoyable. "As good as a bought one", except that the whole batch cost the same as a single bought one.

Wow, these really were super fluffy, and a delicious, economical way to use up sour milk! The batter is thick, but I just spread it out a bit in the pan to make a larger pancake. Will definitely make these again, with perhaps a pinch of salt added. Thanks for the recipe!
