→ Add-ins & Toppings
11 -
3/4 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
12 -
2 tbsp unsalted butter for cooking
13 -
Pure maple syrup for serving
# Steps:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 -
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, whole milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Beat until the mixture is smooth with no visible streaks.
03 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few small lumps are fine and will help keep the pancakes tender.
04 -
Fold in the toasted, chopped pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
05 -
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter, swirling to coat the surface.
06 -
Pour about 60 ml (1/4 cup) of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and burst on the surface.
07 -
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are golden brown and centers spring back when lightly pressed.
08 -
Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil while cooking the remaining batter.
09 -
Serve the pancakes stacked, drizzled with warm maple syrup and topped with an optional pat of butter.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
02 -
Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant to enhance their flavor.
03 -
Pancakes can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months between sheets of parchment paper.
04 -
For best results, reheat in a skillet with butter or in a toaster oven rather than microwave.
