Ingredient Notes

• Creamy peanut butter: I discover that common peanut butter, relatively than pure peanut butter, works greatest. You too can use crunchy peanut butter if that’s your desire.

Whisk within the buttermilk, water, and vanilla till the combination is totally mixed.

Measure out the dry elements, placing them into the identical bowl. After you have the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt within the bowl, whisk the combination till the dry elements are mixed with the moist elements. The batter ought to be pretty clean though you would possibly see a lump or two, and that’s okay.

Fold within the chopped peanuts. Set the batter apart to relaxation for 5 minutes. It will permit time for the acid within the buttermilk to work together with the baking powder, creating tiny air bubbles which make pancakes gentle and fluffy.

Preheat your cooking floor. Whereas your pancake batter rests, set an electrical griddle to 375°F or place a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium-low warmth.

Prepare dinner the pancakes. Drop giant spoonfuls of batter onto the preheated griddle or frying pan, spreading the batter a bit if wanted.

Nonstick Stovetop Griddle

I’ve had this griddle for a very long time and use it continuously (we’re huge followers of pancakes!). It’s fairly heavy and heats evenly. You may simply fry up 4 pancakes at a time. It really works nice for grilled cheese sandwiches, too.

Recipe Variations
