Flapjacks sit somewhere between a pancake and a small griddle cake but are quicker to make and easier to cook in batches. This version uses sour cream in the batter. The acidity works with the raising agent to give the flapjacks a light, fluffy lift. It also helps keep the middle soft and tender, so you get that golden outside and cloud-like centre everyone hopes for in a weekend stack. Cook them gently over medium heat, flip when little bubbles appear on top, and serve warm with chocolate spread and fresh berries. Recipe compliments of LANCEWOOD.
