Butter Pecan Crumble Pancakes

Cinnamon Maple Butter

• • 1 cup butter, room temperature

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

With an electric mixer, beat all ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Pecan Crumble Topping

• • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 4 tablespoons cinnamon maple butter

  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine the flour and sugar in a bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour and sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the pecans, and use your fingers to toss together and incorporate into the mixture.

Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Spread the crumble on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Butter Pecan Crumble Pancakes

• • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/8 cup brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 egg

  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

  • 1/4 cup cinnamon maple butter, melted and cooled

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (I used vanilla bean paste)

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined (batter should be lumpy). Stir in the pecans.

Let the pancake batter rest for 20 minutes before cooking the pancakes. Top each pancake with some of the pecan crumble and maple syrup.

Makes 6-8 pancakes.
