Ingredients
- 1 cup all
- purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 oz smoked salmon
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with milk and vegetable oil. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold them gently into the pancake batter. Heat a lightly greased non stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, finely chopped dill, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve pancakes warm, topped with smoked salmon and a generous dollop of the creamy dill sauce.
Chef’s Insight
To ensure fluffy pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter and let it rest for a few minutes before cooking.
