Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup peaches, diced
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 1 cup of diced peaches, and butter for cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chopped pecans, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, crack the large egg and beat it lightly. Then add the milk to the egg and whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture (milk and egg) into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Fold in the diced peaches gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without over-mixing the batter.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add a small amount of butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pecan pancakes warm, topped with extra diced peaches and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired. Enjoy your delicious American-style pecan pancakes with peaches!
Tips
- Don't overmix your batter! Lumpy batter leads to lighter, fluffier pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use room temperature ingredients, especially eggs and milk, for smoother batter and more consistent cooking.
- Let your pancake batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate.
- Check your skillet's temperature: A drop of water should sizzle and dance when the pan is at the perfect heat.
- For extra flavor, try toasting your pecans lightly before adding them to the batter to enhance their nutty taste.
- If fresh peaches aren't in season, frozen peaches work great - just thaw and pat them dry before adding to the batter.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) while preparing the entire batch to ensure everyone gets hot pancakes simultaneously.
