Pancake Batter

Cinnamon Swirl

Bourbon Butter

Vanilla Icing

Candied Pecans

Method

Pancake Batter

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pancake Batter

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Melt the butter and add it to the wet mixture.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cinnamon Swirl

  1. 4

    Make the Cinnamon Swirl

    In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Melt the butter and combine it with the sugar-cinnamon mixture until it resembles a paste.

Bourbon Butter

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bourbon Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar and bourbon until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

Vanilla Icing

  1. 6

    Mix the Vanilla Icing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as desired.

Candied Pecans

  1. 7

    Make the Candied Pecans

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the pecans, granulated sugar, water, and salt. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble. Continue cooking until the liquid thickens and coats the pecans. Remove from heat and allow to cool on parchment paper.

Cooking Pancakes

  1. 8

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Use a spoon to create a swirl pattern with the cinnamon mixture on top of the pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

  2. 9

    Serve the Pancakes

    Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with bourbon butter, and top with vanilla icing and candied pecans. Enjoy!
