Servings: 10 pancakes and 1 ½ cups Vanilla Bean Sauce

Author: Melissa Sperka

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ½ Tbsp ground cinnamon
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 ¾ cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs divided
• 4 Tbsp butter melted & cooled
• 1 tsp pure vanilla
• vegetable oil for frying
• cinnamon and sugar for serving
• Warm Vanilla Bean Sauce:
• 2 Tbsp butter
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch
• 1 ½ cups half and half
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or 2 tsp pure vanilla

Instructions

• Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon and sugar.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg yolks, melted butter and vanilla.
• Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.
• Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined. The batter will look slightly lumpy.
• Fold the egg whites into the batter.
• Heat a couple of drizzles of vegetable oil in a griddle or non-skillet. Use a 4 oz ice cream scoop to divide the batter into the pan.
• Spread the batter slightly with the back of the ice cream scoop. Cook on medium-high heat until bubbles form and the edge becomes puffy, then gently turn to brown on both sides. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
• Serve with a drizzle of warm vanilla bean sauce and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.
• To make the sauce: Over medium-high heat, melt the butter in a saucepan.
• Add the sugar and cornstarch, stir until combined. Add the half & half. Bring to a simmering boil.
• Lower the temperature and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
• Remove from the stove and stir in the vanilla bean paste or vanilla.
• Keep warm until serving. Yield: Approximately 1 ½ cups

Notes

Pancakes do best when cooked in batches. You'll need to add additional oil to the pan in-between batches for the best results.
