Ingredients
Scale
1½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp lemon juice)
2 large eggs
3 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup butterscotch chips
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp crushed honeycomb candy (or toffee bits)
Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
MAKE THE HONEYCOMB BUTTER: In a small bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Mix in honey, crushed honeycomb (or toffee bits), and sea salt. Scoop onto parchment, roll into a log, and chill for 20 minutes.
PREPARE THE PANCAKE BATTER: In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour wet into dry ingredients and stir until just combined (a few lumps are okay). Fold in butterscotch chips.
COOK THE PANCAKES: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on top. Flip and cook until golden brown.
SERVE WITH HONEYCOMB BUTTER: Stack pancakes high, top with a slice of chilled honeycomb butter, and drizzle with extra honey or syrup.
Notes
Add crushed pecans or banana slices for extra flavor.
For a caramel twist, drizzle with warm butterscotch sauce.
Make the butter ahead — it keeps for a week in the fridge!
