Ingredients

Buttermilk Pancakes:

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted butter
Peanuts, for topping if desired

Jack Daniel’s™ Syrup:

1 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup original Jack Daniel's™ whiskey
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

Step
1

For the syrup: In a small pot over low heat, combine Jack Daniel’s™, maple syrup and butter. Stir until the mixture simmers lightly. Let simmer for a few minutes to cook off the alcohol in the whiskey. Then remove from heat and let cool. Serve warm or cold over pancakes.
Step
2

For pancakes: Combine all the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and then stir in melted butter. Let pancake batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
Step
3

Heat up some butter or oil in the pan or on the griddle over medium-high heat. When hot, add a small spoonful of batter and cook a small pancake. The batter should spread out evenly. If it stays in one spot, the batter is too thick and you need to add more milk. If it runs all over the pan, it is too thin and you need to whisk in some more flour.
Step
4

Ladle 1/3 cup portions of batter on your griddle for medium-sized pancakes. When you start to see good-sized bubbles forming on the surface of the batter, the edges around the pancake start to firm up and you can easily maneuver a spatula under it, flip the pancake. The first side will need probably 4 minutes and the second side will only need 1 or 2 minutes.
Step
5

Top pancakes with some roasted peanuts and drizzle with the Jack Daniel’s™ syrup.
