🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons Additional butter or oil for cooking
• optional Maple syrup (for serving)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently stir until just combined; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

4. Fold the chopped pecans into the batter, being careful not to overmix.

5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

6. Using a ladle or 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.

7. Flip the pancakes and continue cooking on the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.

8. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

9. Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or additional butter, if desired.
