Ingredients
3/4cupall-purpose flour
3/4cupwhole wheat flourcan substitute more all-purpose flour instead
3tablespoonssugar
1 1/2teaspoonsbaking powder
1/2teaspoonbaking soda
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/8teaspoonnutmeg
2eggs
1 1/4cupsmilk
3/4cupcranberry sauce
3tablespoonsunsalted buttermelted and cooled slightly
1teaspoonvanilla
1/2cupchopped pecans
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the milk, cranberry sauce, butter, and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and whisk together just until incorporated. Stir in the pecans.
Heat a non-stick griddle to 350 degrees, or place a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a little butter, if desired (it's not necessary if you're using non-stick equipment), and pour 1/3 cupfuls onto hot griddle/pan. Cook until the pancakes begin to look a little dry around the edges and start to form bubbles, about 1 minute. Flip and cook for another minute until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
Serve topped with maple syrup, an extra spoonful of cranberry sauce, and a sprinkling of chopped pecans, if desired.
