Method

For the Pecan Pancake Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pancake Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

  3. 3

    Fold in Pecans

    Gently fold in the chopped pecans into the batter until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pancakes

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

For the Maple Syrup Whip

  1. 5

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, Noble Maple Syrup, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.

  2. 6

    Serve the Whip

    Transfer the maple syrup whip to a serving bowl or individual cups for serving.

For Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, stack two pancakes and top with a generous dollop of the maple syrup whip. Crumble or slice the Cypress Grove Creamery Midnight Moon Cheese on the side for a delightful pairing.
