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 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Pecans, chopped and toasted
• 1 as needed Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
• 1 as desired Maple syrup (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Fold the chopped and toasted pecans into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each griddle cake, spreading slightly to create an even circle.

Step 7

Cook the griddle cakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the pecan griddle cakes warm with maple syrup and any additional toppings you prefer.
