Brunch Time: Graham Cracker Pancakes

This recipe kicks up your weekend ritual by infusing a classic pancake batter with crushed crackers, cinnamon, and nutmeg, resulting in a nostalgic taste of childhood snacks. Perfect for an upgraded weekend brunch or a special breakfast, serve them hot with a drizzle of maple syrup ora dollop of butter.

How to Make Graham Cracker Pancakes

Mixing Dry Ingredients:

1. • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine your all-purpose flour, finely crushed graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
   • Use a whisk to mix these ingredients thoroughly until well combined. This introduces air, making for fluffier pancak

2. ---

   Combining Wet Ingredients:

   • In a smaller bowl, start by cracking the eggs and beating them lightly with a fork or a whisk.
   • Add the buttermilk, whole milk, and melted unsalted butter to the beaten eggs.
   • Mix these together until you have a uniform liquid mixture.

3. ---

   Creating Pancake Batter:

   • Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients (this means just pushing the ingredients to the side of the bowl to make a hole in the middle).
   • Pour the mixed wet ingredients into the well.
   • Gently stir everything together using a fork or a whisk. The key is to mix until just combined; it’s okay if there are some small lumps. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.

4. Prepping the Griddle:

   • Heat your griddle or large frying pan over a medium heat. To test if it’s hot enough, sprinkle a few drops of water on it; if they dance or evaporate quickly, it’s ready.
   • Lightly brush the griddle with canola oil or coat with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

   Cooking the Pancakes:

   • For each pancake, pour or scoop about ½ cup of the batter onto the griddle. You can use a measuring cup or a ladle for consistency.
   • Wait until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set and dry. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
   • Using a spatula, gently flip the pancake over and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

   Serving:

   • Serve your pancakes hot off the griddle. Stack them on a plate and add your favorite toppings like butter, maple syrup, or more crushed graham crackers for an extra crunch.

Recipe Notes:

• If you’re using a nonstick skillet, you may not need as much oil for cooking.
• If the first pancake doesn’t come out perfect, don’t worry! Adjust the heat as needed; the first pancake is often a ‘test.’
• Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 90°C) if you’re making a large batch.
• For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter sit for five minutes after mixing to allow the baking powder to activate.

Notes

• For a stronger graham cracker flavor, use finely crushed graham crackers instead of crumbs.
• To make these pancakes ahead of time, cook them completely and store in the refrigerator; reheat gently in a pan or toaster oven.
• If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar per cup.
