Fluffy Pancake recipe
We never need an excuse to make pancakes (our Skillet German Pancakes and Cornmeal Griddle Cakes and German are a family favorite)! But with National Pancake Day fast approaching, we couldn’t resist making an extra special, boozy kind of stack to celebrate. These Peach Bourbon Pancakes are everything a decadent celebratory meal should be, punctuated with bacon and a splash of bourbon.
Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 1 ½ C flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 ¼ C milk
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Bourbon Maple Syrup:
- 1 C sugar
- ½ C brown sugar
- ¼ C honey
- ¾ C water
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ C diced peaches
- 2 ounces Four Roses Bourbon
- ¼ C chopped bacon
Making your own syrup is an easy way to elevate a simple stack of pancakes. Keith used Four Roses Bourbon, some juicy local peaches, bacon, and maple extract to create a one of a kind, unbelievable topping for our cozy fall breakfast stack. It’s a grown up brunch that is truly delicious.
