Ingredients

Praline Sauce

1 cup light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅓ cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped, toasted pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pancakes

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 ¼ cups milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Praline Sauce

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. To toast the pecans, spread the chopped pecans out on a baking pan. Place the baking pan in the oven and toast pecans for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Place the brown sugar, butter, cream and salt into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Let the mixture come to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Let cook for 2-3 minutes and then remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and toasted pecans.

Pancakes

Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl. Mix in the egg, milk, and cooled melted butter.
Stir ingredients together until just mixed. Stir in chopped pecans. Let the batter sit 4-5 minutes.
Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle. Let the pancakes cook until bubbles start to form on top.
Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes.
Top with pecan praline sauce and serve.
