Instant Sour Dough Pancakes

Submitted by MarshHen

"This pancake recipe has become one of our favorites, not only because of how great they taste, but also because we make the batter the night before and it's ready to go the next morning. The grandboy's love these pancakes topped with apple pie filling with a touch of cinnamon mixed in before warming in the microwave. Note: Prep time does not include overnight setting time."

These pancakes have a much better flavour than your usual pancake mix, even better than the mixes from scratch. My grandma would make sour dough pancakes every Tuesday when I was growing up. Hers tasted more “sour.” Perhaps she would let the batter sit for an extra day or two, which is what I think I will try the next time I make it.
