Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F with cast iron skillet (a 6 or 7″ one) inside.
Brown the butter: Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat, swirling occasionally. It’ll foam, then turn golden with brown flecks and smell nutty (3-4 minutes). Remove immediately. You can also just use plain melted butter (but it won’t taste as rich as the browned butter). Let it cool slightly.
Whisk dry ingredients together.
In a separate clean bowl, combine egg yolks, sour cream, and browned butter.
Whip egg whites with a pinch of salt to soft peaks.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until mixed. Gently fold in egg whites in two additions (don’t deflate them)
Grease the hot skillet, pour in batter and smooth the top. Bake for about 20–25 minutes until golden. Brush top with melted butter and scatter flaky salt (optional).
