Method

  1. 1

    Heat. Heat the oven to 93°C, spray the wire rack with oil and set it on its tray.

  2. 2

    Whisk Dry. Whisk the crushed crumbs from 8 graham crackers with 142 g plain flour, 2 tbsp cornmeal, 2 tbsp caster sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda and ½ tsp fine salt.

  3. 3

    Combine. Whisk 480 ml buttermilk, 60 ml soured cream, 2 eggs and 42 g melted butter in another bowl, pour this into a well in the dry mix and stir gently until just combined and lumpy, then rest the batter 10 min.

  4. 4

    Cook. Heat 1-2 tsp vegetable oil in a 30 cm non-stick pan over medium heat, wipe out leaving a thin film, then portion 60 ml batter in 4 places and cook until the edges set, the base turns golden and bubbles begin to break, 2-3 min.

  5. 5

    Flip. Flip and cook until golden, a further 1-2 min.

  6. 6

    Finish. Serve straight away or keep warm on the rack, repeating with the rest of the batter and using the remaining oil as needed.

Storage

Best eaten fresh and warm, straight from the pan. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
