Sweet Cream Pancakes
Sweet cream pancakes are the fluffiest, most irresistible pancakes ever! Rich, buttery, with touch of sweetness - it's heaven on a plate!
Equipment
- Pancake Griddle or Large Non-Stick Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour, (sifted)
- 2 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 2 cups Heavy Cream, (cold)
- 1/4 cup Whole Milk, (cold)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp Salted Butter, (melted), additional for the pan
- 3-4 tbsp Oil, (for the pan)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift all purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Then add sugar and whisk together.
- Make a small well in the center of the bowl and pour in the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until just combined, then pour in melted butter. Continue to mix until just combined - it's ok it the bater is slightly lumpy. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let the batter sit for 15 minutes.
- Preheat a pancake griddle or a large non-stick pan over medium heat (medium low heat if you notice that the pancakes are browning too quickly). Drizzle oil and butter onto the skillet. Dollop a 1/2 cup of pancake batter onto griddle/skillet. Cook for 2-4 minutes, until the tops bubble, then flip over and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream - It keeps the batter thick and results in fluffiest pancakes ever.
- Don’t overmix the batter. A few lumps are totally okay; overmixing makes pancakes tough instead of fluffy. As soon as the wet ingredients are incorporated into the dry ingredients, stop mixing.
- Let the batter rest! This allows the cream to hydrate the flour, giving you lighter, more tender pancakes.
- Cook on medium-low heat to get your pancakes perfectly golden brown. Cooking on a lower heat also allows the pancakes to cook evenly without burning.
- Flip when you see the pancakes bubbling on top: Wait for bubbles to appear on top, then flip carefully to keep your pancakes airy and fluffy.
- Get creative with add-ins like chocolate chips, shredded carrots, coconut flakes, or blueberries (just to name a few)!
- For a citrusy spin, add a little lemon zest or lemon extract.
- Gluten free version - swap out all purpose flour for your fave 1-to-1 gluten free flour. The texture may be slightly different but they'll be delicious!
- Vegan version - use vegan heavy cream and swap out eggs for applesauce or mashed banana (about a 1/2 cup).
