I love Buttermilk Pancakes! Maybe it’s the slight tartness from the buttermilk, or maybe its just this recipe that is sweet and salty. Regardless, they are delicious!
I had some bananas today I wanted to use so I mashed one and added to the batter, then chopped a little and added a more on top.
If you don’t have a good buttermilk recipe, you need this recipe! You don’t need to add bananas or anything….they are perfect with butter and your favorite syrup!

- Turn the pancakes and tet them briefly brown on the other side. This won’t take long because they are mostly cooked when you turn them.

For the Butter Pecan Syrup
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the chopped pecans and let them cook just about a minute in the butter. You don’t want to burn them or the butter. Add the syrup and just heat through. You may need more syrup depending on how many you are serving. Bon Appetite!
