Filling:

• 5 tbs. maple butter (you can make your own – 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/8-1/4 cup Michigan maple syrup, or buy it already prepared)
• 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
• pinch of salt

Batter:

• 1-3/4 cups flour
• 3/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1-1/2 tbsp. sugar
• 1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. allspice
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 3 egg yolks, whisk lightly
• 1-1/3 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 5 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks
• 5 tbsp. butter, melted

Topping:

• 1 tbsp. confectioners’ sugar
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Combine the maple butter, pecans and a pinch of salt.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar,  cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and the salt.  In another bowl combine the egg yolks, buttermilk and sour cream.  Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir well;  the batter will be lumpy.  Gently fold half of the egg whites into the batter, then fold in the remaining half.

Place the pan over the burner and heat.  Put a 1/2 tsp. butter in each well, add 1 tbsp. batter and cook for 2 minutes (it took only 1 minute on top of a burner on my gas stove). Spoon 1 tsp. maple filling into the center of each pancake and top with 1 tbsp. batter.  Cook until the bottoms are nicely browned, another minute or two.  Flip the pancakes over and cook another 2-3 minutes.

In a bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar and  cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the pancakes.
