Equipment You’ll Need
Instructions
- Preheat the electric griddle to 320 degrees. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a small microwave safe bowl and set aside the last tablespoon.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, pecans, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir until well mixed.
- Add to the egg mixture alternately with the buttermilk.
- With an electric mixture, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the pancake batter.
- Grease the hot griddle with the last tablespoon of butter. Using a 1/4 measuring cup, pour batter onto the greased griddle.
- With a spatula, turn pancakes when bubbles start to form on top, about 3 to 4 minutes. Cook until both sides are golden brown.
Libby’s Notes
- If you don’t have regular buttermilk, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Let it sit for about 8 minutes. When it starts to curdle, it’s ready to use.
- You can also make these pancakes on the stove in a heat safe skillet.
