  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 to taste salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Heat 1.5 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high until foaming. Drop spoonfuls of batter and flatten gently.

  5. 5

    Fry 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining batter.

  6. 6

    Stir dill into sour cream, season lightly with salt. Serve boxty hot with dollops of dill cream.
