This recipe was given to me by a man I work with and he claims these are the best pancakes ever. This recipe was passed on to him thru his girlfriends Gram. Rick says the extra effort is well worth it, although he cautions not to over mix and that the batter should be thick and lumpy.

3 cups flour
4 tbsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. sugar
2 cups milk
2 tbsp. oil
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt (optional)

Combine ingredients gently.

Not to long ago, I had pecan pancakes in a restaurant and although they were good at the time I couldn’t help thinking they could be better. The restaurant had actual pecans included in the pancake batter. Anyway, I was looking for something more and decided to throw a few things together for our pancakes at home and this is what I came up with. There are no exact measurements so you are going to just have to wing it. The amounts should coincide with the amount of nuts you are using and how many pancakes you are making.

Enough chopped pecans for the amount of pancakes you are making
A dash of cinnamon
About 1 tbsp. of brown sugar…use your judgment
Enough maple syrup to cover the nuts to make them loose enough to pour over the pancakes
