Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 3: Make the Cinnamon Peach Topping
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are tender and caramelized.
Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 4: Assemble and Serve
Stack the pancakes on serving plates.
Spoon the warm cinnamon peach topping over the pancakes.
Add whipped cream, drizzle with maple syrup, and sprinkle with chopped nuts or powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Don’t Overmix – Stir the batter until ingredients are just combined for the fluffiest results.
Use Medium Heat – Too hot and the pancakes will burn outside while remaining raw inside.
Keep Warm – Place cooked pancakes in a low oven (around 200°F) to keep warm while finishing the batch.
Fresh or Frozen Peaches – Both work well. If using frozen, thaw and drain before cooking.
Try a Non-Stick Skillet – It ensures even cooking and easy flipping.
