Pecan Topped Pancakes Recipes

FLUFFY PECAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, soda, and chopped pecans.
• In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and milk, egg yolks, and melted butter. Blend into the dry ingredients just until all ingredients are moistened.
• Beat egg whites in another bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Fold into the batter until well incorporated.
• Heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat (or use a griddle to make more at a time).
• When skillet is hot enough for a drop of water to sizzle, scoop pancake batter onto the skillet in about 1/4-cup portions, spreading slightly.
• When edges are rather dry and bubbles are popping and bottoms are nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes, turn over and cook the other side until browned, about 2 minutes longer.
• Serve hot with butter and syrup and garnish with pecan halves or fruit, if desired.

PUMPKIN PECAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine whole wheat pastry flour, multigrain hot cereal, and baking powder.
• In a second bowl, beat eggs and combine with milk, pumpkin, yogurt, vanilla extract, sugar and salt. Add wet ingredients to dry, being careful not to overmix the batter. Fold in pecans.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Bubbles will start to form in the pancakes. Cook until the edges of the pancakes start to look dry, and a bubble popped near the edge holds its shape. Flip the pancakes over, and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil to the griddle if necessary. Stack the pancakes on a plate and keep warm until serving. For larger batches, keep pancakes warm in a single layer on a cooling rack positioned over a baking sheet in a 300 degrees F oven (150 degrees C).

CHOCOLATE-PECAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla; pour over flour mixture, whisking to combine. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans; let batter stand until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until a water droplet sizzles; swirl to coat bottom of pan with oil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Spoon four small mounds (1 heaping tablespoon each) of batter into skillet. Cook until bubbles appear in center, 3 to 4 minutes. With a thin spatula, flip pancakes; continue cooking until set, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Transfer to a baking sheet; cover loosely with foil; place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and batter in three more batches (adjust heat as necessary to avoid overbrowning).
• Stack 4 pancakes on each plate, sprinkling each layer with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Serve immediately, drizzled with hot fudge sauce, if desired.

PECAN-OATMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine milk, eggs and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in pecans. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat; turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes. Cook until second side is golden brown.

LIGHT PECAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine bisquick, pecans, and pumpkin-pie spice in a large bowl. Combine milk and next ingredients (milk through eggs); add to flour mixture, stirring until smooth.
• Spoon about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot nonstick griddle or large nonstick skillet. Turn pancakes when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Sprinkle pancakes with 2 tablespoons pecans.

APPLE PECAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in milk, egg yolks and vanilla. Add apples and pecans. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into the batter. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot greased griddle or skillet. Turn when bubbles begin to form and the edges are golden. Cook until the second side is golden.

PECAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs and milk together, pour over the flour mixture, and stir until blended. Fold in the pecans.
• Heat regular or nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Grease it with butter, if needed.
• Drop large spoonfuls (about 1/3 cup) of batter into skillet or onto griddle. Use back of spoon to spread it a little. Cook each pancake for 1 or 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown, and then remove from pan. Repeat with remaining batter, and then serve with butter and syrup.
