Heavenly! This was Sunday brunch. I didn't get a photo because I set a plate aside for pictures and someone got to them while I was clearing up! I would say that says a lot. After tasting these I am thinking of tripling the apple cinnamon butter bourbon vanilla mixture and making it into apple crisp. Thumbs up all around thank you Cat!
My poor husband...he is at work and we didn't save any for him! I made a double batch and thought it would be enough since it's just me, my 6 year old, my 3 year old, and my 11 month old. But we loved it and couldn't stop eating! I used Fuji apples I took off my tree last Fall, chopped and frozen in my freezer. Because they are really sweet I only put in half the sugar and I let them cook until they caramelized. It was perfect--we didn't even use any syrup and you know how kids love syrup! I didn't add any bourbon. I didn't have oat flour so I used half quick oats and half old fashioned (since I was running out of quick oats.) I didn't process them or sift anything, which just goes to show how forgiving this recipe is. I put in exactly the listed amount of bacon but only because that's all I had--I think you can always add more bacon! A great recipe. Now I have to whip up another batch for my husband. Too bad his won't have bacon!
Yum! Added more bacon; also instead of oat flour I used regular oatmeal and soaked it in the liquid ingredients for awhile.
I ground oatmeal to make the flour in my food processor as suggested by one reviewer. I doubled the bourbon and reduced the milk just a bit with great results for the family bourbon lovers. We didn't need any syrup or honey as these pancakes are great straight from the pan. Thanks for the wonderful and different breakfast treat.
One of the best pancake recipes I've ever made. Luckily I had a shooter of bourbon in my fridge from a baby shower a while ago and was able to make this. Super deelish!
Haven't made it yet but I KnOw it's going to be amazing.
Really delicious! A little more effort than we usually go to with apple chopping and bacon cooking but well worth it. We found that the batter was a bit thinner than we like so we did add some flour to thicken it up. There is just a hint of the bourbon flavour and a bit more bacon was added - used two full strips which when chopped up yields a bit more than the recipe calls for.
These are really good. Chop the apples very small as there is not a lot of batter. It took just about 1 1/4 apples to make 2 cups so I chopped and sauteed the rest of my second apple like in the first step but with much less cinnamon and a splash of bourbon and put it on top of the pancakes with the syrup.
Delicious! This recipe is the inspiration for a "Breakfast for Dinner" Party complete with pajamas!
Very disappointed. Finally tried these this morning & won't be doing this again. We didn't have oat flour so used oatmeal & I don't know if that was the problem or not. We did use a little more bacon & doubled the bourbon as suggested. We really do think the oat flour was the problem though cause we didn't have any.
