Ingredients

• 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)
• 0 optional maple syrup (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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