How to Make Fluffy Pecan Pancakes

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, 1/2 cup milk, 2 large egg yolks, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the pancake batter until just combined. Be gentle to maintain airiness.
  6. Lightly grease your skillet with butter or oil. When hot enough for a drop of water to sizzle, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet 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 syrup, butter, and a sprinkle of extra pecan halves or fresh fruit, if desired.
