Method

1. In a large bowl, add the milk, sour cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until combined. It’s ok to have small lumps of sour cream.
2. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir just until no large clumps of dry flour remain, trying not to over mix. The batter should be very lumpy.
3. Melt about 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until lightly bubbling and light brown.
4. Ladle the batter into the skillet making 3-4 pancakes (about 1/4 cup of batter each). Cook 3-4 minutes, until bubbles form on top of each pancake and the bottoms are golden brown.
5. Flip the pancakes. Cook 1-2 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
6. Carefully wipe out any excess browned butter with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining butter and pancake batter.
7. Serve warm with maple syrup.
