First Mile Pancakes Recipe

Pancake Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Batter

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

2. 2

   Cook the Pancakes

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

3. 3

   Prepare Honey Butter

   In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of softened butter with 1/4 cup of honey until smooth. Set aside.

4. 4

   Make Candied Pecans

   In a skillet over medium heat, combine 1 cup of pecans, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of water. Stir until sugar dissolves, then cook until the mixture thickens and coats the pecans, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to parchment paper to cool.

5. 5

   Prepare Bourbon Maple Syrup

   In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of maple syrup with 2 tbsp of bourbon. Heat gently until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with bourbon maple syrup, top with candied pecans, add a dollop of honey butter, and sprinkle with smoked sea salt. Enjoy!
