Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk eggs and milk together in another bowl until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Pour egg mixture into flour. Whisk until smooth with no lumps, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Let batter rest 5 minutes—it will thicken slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Melt 0.5 tbsp butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.

  6. Step 6

    Pour 1/4 cup batter into the center; immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread thin.

  7. Step 7

    Cook 60-90 seconds until the bottom is pale golden and edges curl slightly, then flip.

  8. Step 8

    Cook the other side 20-30 seconds until set. Transfer to a plate.

  9. Step 9

    Repeat with remaining batter, adding 0.5 tbsp butter for each pancake.

  10. Step 10

    Stack pancakes on serving plates. Top with jam and a dollop of sour cream.
