Pancakes are always a hit in my home and after trying IHOP’s Butter Pecan Syrup, I went on a hunt for a Buttermilk Pecan Pancake recipe. Every weekend, Cohban and Maddie Lu beg for pancakes, and while they always opt for homemade Chocolate Chip Pancakes, I knew this recipe would have them begging for more.

For our Christmas Brunch, we used Hearth &  Hand with Magnolia Cookie Cutters to cut out the Buttermilk Pecan Pancakes into little houses to match our centerpiece. They’re currently 30% off at Target right now, and we’re obsessed with how our pancakes turned out!

#HostfulHack: No time to whip up homemade pancakes before hosting Christmas Brunch? Opt for frozen pancakes, heat in the microwave and use cookie cutters to shape them. Place on top of cake stand & add powdered sugar and rosemary to garnish. Less time in the kitchen & more time with loved ones!
