Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups Buttermilk
• 1 piece Large egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped toasted pecans
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together just until combined; avoid overmixing. A few lumps are fine.

Step 4

Gently fold in the chopped toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 6

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop and pour the pancake batter onto the hot skillet, spacing pancakes about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired, and enjoy!
