Rice Krispie Pancakes with Browned Butter Syrup

These Rice Krispie pancakes are a delightful twist on classic pancakes, with the added crunch and flavor of cereal. The browned butter syrup takes them to a whole new level of deliciousness

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Rice Krispies cereal
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For Browned Butter Syrup:
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, Rice Krispies cereal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Do not overmix; some lumps are okay

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray

Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown

For the Browned Butter Syrup, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat

Allow it to cook until it turns a deep golden brown color, and you start to smell a nutty aroma, stirring occasionally

This should take about 5-7 minutes

Remove the browned butter from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract

Be cautious as it may bubble up when you add the syrup

Serve the Rice Krispie pancakes hot, drizzled with the delicious browned butter syrup
