Ingredients

Pancakes:

  • 1 c. whole wheat flour or oat flour
  • 1 c. cornmeal
  • 1/3 c. packed brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 c. evaporated milk
  • 1/4 c. water
  • 1/4 c. oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 c. chopped pecans

Caramel Sauce:

  • 1 c. packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. unsalted butter
  • 1/2 c. heavy cream
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions

Pancakes:

  • In a large bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients. Add in all wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in pecans.
  • Heat a griddle or large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Lightly coat pan with butter or non-stick spray and pour approximately 1/3 c. batter for each pancake, or to desired size.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until edges are dry and the middle is mostly set. Flip, and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. You'll probably want them to be golden brown, of course! :)

Caramel Sauce:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients and whisk well.
  • Stirring continuously, bring the mixture to a rolling boil, and allow it to boil for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and allow it to cool, but continue stirring it occasionally to whisk out any foam on the top. It will be smooth and glossy.
  • Serve over warm pancakes and enjoy!!
