Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix eggs, sour cream, and self-rising cornmeal mix until well combined.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter. If you don't have self-rising cornmeal mix, combine 1 cup of cornmeal with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Adjust the oil and butter amounts based on your preference for richness and flavor.
Serving Suggestions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just stir it well before cooking. However, cooked pancakes can also be frozen and reheated later.
What can I use instead of sour cream?
Greek yogurt is an excellent substitute for sour cream, providing a similar tanginess and creaminess. You can also use buttermilk, but you may need to adjust the dry ingredients slightly.
Can I add flavors or mix-ins to the batter?
Absolutely! You can mix in vanilla extract, cinnamon, or even chocolate chips for added flavor. Fresh fruit like blueberries or bananas can also be folded into the batter before cooking.
