Best Pancakes Ever

I've been making a lot of pancakes lately, because I love them and because Wendy requests them a lot. This morning, I decided to make Pecan Spice Pancakes, a recipe I made up on the spot. They turned out great - in fact, I think they were the best pancakes I have ever made.

(Here's where a picture would go, if I had managed to take a picture before they were all eaten. *ahem*)

Pecan Spice Pancakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp sugar (I used Splenda)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
dash of nutmeg
dash of cloves
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 beaten egg
1 cup half-and-half (or milk)
2 Tbsp cooking oil
real maple syrup

1. In a medium mixing bowl stir together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture; set aside.

2. In another medium mixing bowl combine the egg, milk, and cooking oil. Add egg mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir just till moistened (batter should be lumpy).

3. Cook pancakes in a hot, buttered skillet for approx. 2 min on each side. Serve with real maple syrup.

Enjoy!
