Today's recipe is an ode to my Mom with a little nod to one of me.
Mom just loved waffles with pecans. To tell you the truth I think she just love pecans in anything! They are my favorite nut by far and we use them in baking all the time. Even though my mom's been gone a few years now I still celebrate the food that she loved by making dishes in her honor.
So today, in honor of my Mom's pecan love, I decided to make pecan pancakes. A nice variation on her pecan waffles. But these aren't just any old pancakes. I had to put a little spin on it with an ingredient that I love too....chocolate. YUM! I love chocolate, especially when it is warm. Oh for the gooey love of warm chocolate. They go perfect with the pecans!
They are easy to put together using my great Aunt Grace's Farmstyle Buttermilk Pancakes with a few added touches. Create a fudge sauce to go on top and you are all ready for a wonderful breakfast.
What's better than hot, golden pancakes? Not much!
Enjoy!
