So we wondered: Could all that blissfully moist sweetness be captured in a stack ofpancakes?
We included a delicious riff on thecream cheesefrosting too.
Whisk together buttermilk and next 5 ingredients in another bowl.
Gradually stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Fold in toasted pecans.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot buttered griddle or large nonstick skillet.
Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry and cooked.
Turn and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until done.
Serve with Cream Cheese Anglaise.
