Description

These Sweet Cream Pancakes are made with heavy cream for the most delicious flavor! Best thing- the easy pancake mix whips up in 5 minutes in just one bowl!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled + 4 tablespoons salted butter for cooking pancakes in skillet
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  2. Into the same bowl, over the dry ingredients, add in the 2 tablespoons of melted butter, whole milk, and 1 egg. Whisk until just combined.
  3. Pour in heavy cream and whisk or stir just to combine.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of butter into a nonstick skillet over medium heat (or slightly under if it starts to burn). Once it's melted add about 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the center of the pan. The pancake mix is thick, and you may have to help spread it into a circle with the back of a spoon. 
  5. When it starts to form bubbles around the edges, flip the pancake. Cook the other side of the pancake until fully cooked.
  6. Top with your favorite toppings and Enjoy!

Notes

When mixing the batter, only whisk until just combined, so that the batter stays fluffy. 

I highly suggest using a non-stick skillet for pancakes. 

My best kept secret about cooking pancakes is to keep enough butter in the pan. I recommend using about 1/2 a tablespoon per side of the pancake, so 1 tablespoon for each medium to large sized pancake.

If the butter starts to burn, drop the heat a little bit. If it's too far gone, carefully wipe it out of the skillet with a paper towel and start over. You don't want to add the batter in with burnt butter, because it changes the taste and it makes the pancake look not as appetizing.

These pancakes are really thick, so watch the flip time. Once you start to see bubbles forming around the top and outsides, it's time to flip. You're not looking to see bubbles along the whole surface, as you will sometimes with thinner pancakes.
