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:

• 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

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.
