Peach and Sour Cream Pancakes (p. 5)


A friend of mine from work gave us some very nice peaches and so I decided to make these pancakes.  Putting the batter together was straightforward.
Cutting the peaches very thinly was not. Mine ended up about 1/4 of an inch thick rather than the suggested 1/8 of an inch (I got 8 slices out of one peach).  Cooking them was also a bit tricky.  Mine took about 10 minutes on the peach side (rather than the suggested 5).  M said that while she really liked the final taste, the texture left much to be desired.  She suggested that I cook them on one side, flip them and then add the peach to the top and then finally flip them again to caramelize the peach - guaranteeing that the pancake is done on both sides.  As it was, the peach did not really "melt into the pancake" as promised, so perhaps this would not be much of a compromise. 
M's other comment was that as the pancakes have a bit of sweetness to them, you should go light on the maple syrup.  Overall, I liked them quite a bit and I'll definitely make them again!

  1. Sounds yummy. We love pancakes, especially with OH maple syrup! After reading the recipe, I like M's comment about how to cook them to get the melty peach.
