  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons bourbon

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Pancakes.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium low heat. Continue to cook the butter, swirling occasionally, until nutty brown solids form at the bottom. Remove from the heat.

In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Whisk in the eggs, milk, vinegar, vanilla and browned butter.

Preheat a griddle to 300 and spray with non-stick spray. Use a 1/4 measuring cup to measure the batter onto the griddle and cook on one side until almost cooked through, then flip and finish cooking the other side.

Sauce.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium low heat. Whisk in the flour, brown sugar, cream, salt, bourbon and vanilla. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick enough to coat a spoon.

Serve the pancakes with the sauce and toasted pecans.

Yields about 16-18 pancakes.
