How to Make Buttermilk Pecan Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
  6. Lightly grease a griddle or large non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit. Makes approximately 16 pancakes.
