Pecan Maple Syrup Pancakes
Pecan maple syrup pancakes are an iconic dish in American breakfasts. Maple syrup was originally used by Native Americans, and European settlers adopted this natural sweetener. Pecans are a staple ingredient in Southern American cuisine, perfectly complementing the silky sweetness of maple syrup. In this dish, the pancake is not just a simple dessert or breakfast, but a real pleasure, often enjoyed on special occasions. Lightly toasted pecans add a crunchy texture, and the warm maple syrup sauce perfectly brings together the flavors.

Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
2
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, sparkling water, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
3
Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you have a smooth pancake batter, being careful not to overmix.
4
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
5
In a dry skillet, toast the pecans for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. This will enhance their flavor.
6
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and brown sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
7
Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate, sprinkle with the toasted pecans, and drizzle generously with the warm maple syrup sauce.
8
Serve immediately, garnished with extra pecans and a pat of butter, if desired.
