We never need an excuse to make pancakes. 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.
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.
Homemade Bourbon Peach Syrup makes a boring stack of pancakes a spectacular meal. Make some today and celebrate!
