wishlist | ModCloth

ModCloth must-haves... When I originally was introduced to ModCloth, I went there for their fun frocks. Soon after, their apartment wares were catching my eye. Filled with color and undeniable personality, they were way too fun not to... I mean just look at those little Taterpot faces above. How can you resist?

So, needless to say, it was very cool when Angela, one of their fashion writers, contacted me the other day in search of a good pancake recipe for National Pancake Day (which is today by the way... so Happy National Pancake Day!) Check out today's ModLife blog posting and catch Angela's take on my Sour Cream Pancakes.

Sour Cream Pancakes

1c flour

2T sugar

2t baking powder

1/2t salt

8oz sour cream

1/4c milk

3T butter, melted

1 large egg

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and set aside. In a smaller bowl, mix together the sour cream, milk, melted butter, and egg. Slowly fold the sour cream mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until moistened. Do not over mix. Let batter sit for 10 minutes.

Preheat griddle on medium heat. Lightly coat griddle with butter. Pour batter in batches onto griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the service of each pancake. Flip when a few of the bubbles pop and then lightly brown the other side.
