Official Description
Marlboro Man's grandmother Edna Mae spent years cooking daily for cowboys and loves this recipe for sour cream pancakes. They're lighter than the average pancake, and are impossibly easy to whip up on Saturday morning...or any morning, for that morning.

Recipe

 * 1 cup sour cream
 * 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
 * 1 tablespoon sugar
 * 1 teaspoond baking soda
 * 1/2 teaspoon salt
 * 2 large eggs
 * 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
 * Butter
 * Maple or pancake syrup

Place an iron skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. You want it to get nice and hot.

Place the sour cream in a medium bowl. It's like the top-secret ingredient. Actually, it's not top-secret at all. But I like hyperbole. Dump in the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Stir together very, very gently. I stop short of the mixture being totally combined. You want the pancakes to have some interesting texture.

Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.

Add the vanilla and stir and stir to combine.

Pour the egg mixture into the sour cream/flour mixture.

Stir together gently. Don't worry about the mixture being totally combined; a little white and yellow swirling is fine!

Melt about a tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Pour the butter into the skillet 1/4 cup at a time.

Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, then flip the pancakes over. Cook for another 45 seconds and remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Stack the pancakes as high on a platee as your appetite dictates. See how high you can go - take it on as a personal challenge!

Top with plenty of butter and maple syrup and eat to your heart's desire.
