this morning we woke up late for the first time in a very long while - because with this kind of weather, why bother waking up at all! it is storming outside with fierce wind whipping the rain against the window, and making a terrible shrieking noise through some hidden gap in the window.
no use in fighting it or complaining - it is best to fetch another cup of good hot coffee, and make yogurt and sour cream pancakes! they turned out really lovely, were incredibly easy to get together, and even though we did not have any maple syrup they tasted delicious topped with butter and powdered sugar or jam. so i thought i would share the recipe, in case any of you are having similar days that call for a similar remedy ;)
7 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup turkish (or greek) yogurt
1/2 cup light sour cream
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl, then add the yogurt and sour cream and stir it in gently, just until the mixture is moistened. in a separate bowl, beat together eggs and vanilla, then add to the rest and mix until just combined - don't overmix!
cook in a buttered skillet, waiting for small bubbles to appear before turning - about 2 minutes per side. eat with butter, a little powdered sugar, jam, fresh fruit, sour cream, maple syrup - or anything else you like!
