Heavenly Silver Dollar Hot Cakes

Image via Wikipedia

This is one of my favorite recipes for hot cakes.  They are small, easy to prepare and you can easily control the portions served.  Having a large hot cake on your plate is messy, too much to eat and just plain wasteful.  Try these little hot cakes and see what you think.
Serve them with some steaming hot sausage or bacon.  Top them with your favorite fruit.  Sit back and enjoy.

These are the lightest sour cream silver-dollar-size hotcakes I’ve ever had—they seem to hover over the plate. They are heavenly and certainly should be served hot.

INGREDIENTS:

4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup cake flour
2 cups sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar

PREPARATION:

 

1. Put the eggs in a mixing bowl and stir until well blended. Add the salt, baking soda, flour, sour cream, and sugar, and mix well. All of this can be done in a blender, if you prefer.

2. Heat a griddle or frying pan until it is good and hot, film with grease, and drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the griddle—just enough to spread to an approximately 2 1/2-inch round. When a few bubbles appear on top of the pancakes, turn them over and cook briefly.
