🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cups pecans (chopped and lightly toasted)
• 2 tablespoons 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, melted butter, vanilla extract, and the egg until smooth.

3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

4. Fold in the toasted chopped pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.

6. Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.

7. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.

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

9. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and additional toasted pecans if desired.
