Prepare the cinnamon maple butter: In a small bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes or until ready to serve.
Make the pecan crumble: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of softened butter, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Mix with a fork until the mixture has a crumbly texture. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1.25 cups of whole milk, 1 large egg, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Allow pancakes to cook until bubbles form and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Once the pancakes are cooked, keep them warm. In a separate small skillet over medium heat, toast the pecan crumble mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden brown.
Serve pancakes stacked with a generous sprinkle of the pecan crumble on top and a dollop of the chilled cinnamon maple butter. Drizzle additional maple syrup if desired.
