- In a medium bowl, sift together the salt, baking soda, nutmeg, sugar and flours.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then add the eggs and sour cream, and beat until smooth.
- The mixture will be very loose.
- Chill the batter for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a griddle over medium-high heat.
