Zeppelins

Serves 3.
From The Breakfast Book by Marion Cunningham.

These pancakes are very fluffy, but they collapse quickly after they're removed from the pan. Be careful flipping them over or you'll have "crashed zeppelins"!

• ¼ c butter
• 2 eggs
• 1½ c buttermilk
• ½ c sour cream
• 1 c flour
• ¾ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt

Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Separate the eggs, putting the yolks in a large mixer bowl and the whites in a smaller mixer bowl. Mix the buttermilk and sour cream into the yolks. Mix in the butter. Beat in the dry ingredients. Beat the egg whites and fold into the batter.

Place three scoops of batter in the pan. Carefully flip them when the bottom is done and cook the other side briefly. Serve immediately. Brush oil on the pan before starting the next batch.
