Pecan Pancakes

There’s something fabulous about nuts in baked goods. And, pancakes with pecans are no exception. I love the way that nuts soften when warmed, adding such glorious flavor and texture.

Especially when adding maple syrup, the inclusion of nuts makes such a difference. Even when I’m not using real nuts, sometimes I’ll spread a little peanut butter over them instead of real butter to get that flavor when eating pancakes for breakfast.

Recipe for Pecan Pancakes

• flour, salt, and sugar
• baking powder
• baking soda
• buttermilk
• eggs and butter
• vanilla extract
• pecans
• maple syrup

Start by whisking together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Then, add the buttermilk and eggs and whisk to combine. Next, add the butter and vanilla. And, last, stir in the pecans.

Whisk once more and then allow the batter to rest while the griddle or pan heats. But, be careful not to overbeat the pancake batter. Lumps are fine. This is a thick batter and the pancakes will thin out as they cook on the griddle.

Heat a flat-bottom nonstick skillet or electric griddle (this is my favorite griddle) over medium heat. Pour about ⅓ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.

Allow the pancakes to cook until they begin to bubble on top and are lightly browned on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown. Serve warm with the toppings of your choice.

While regular milk may be substituted for the buttermilk in this recipe, I strongly recommend making the recipe as written. (If you do choose to substitute regular milk, reduce the amount to a total of 2 cups.)
