Maple butter, made by cooking and whipping pure maple syrup to a velvety consistency, is combined with chopped pecans to form a luscious filling for these pancakes. Add only the amount of filling specified in the recipe so it remains neatly contained inside the pancakes. Recipe Source: Williams Sonoma Ingredients:
5 tablespoons maple-flavored butter |
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped |
1 pinch salt, plus |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar |
1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon allspice |
3 egg yolks, lightly whisked |
1 1/3 cups buttermilk |
1/2 cup sour cream |
5 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks |
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, stir together the maple butter, pecans and a pinch of salt. Set the filling aside.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, the nutmeg, allspice and the 3/4 teaspoons salt. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk and sour cream. Whisk the egg yolk mixture into the flour mixture until well combined; the batter will be lumpy. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the egg whites into the batter in two additions.
3. Heat a filled-pancake pan over medium heat. Put 1/2 teaspoons butter in each well, add 1 Tbs. batter and cook for 2 minutes. Spoon 1 teaspoons maple filling into the center of each pancake and top with 1 Tbs. batter. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Using 2 skewers or toothpicks, flip the pancakes over and cook until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the pancakes to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
4. In a small bowl, stir together the confectioners sugar and the remaining 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon and sprinkle on the pancakes.
