4. Cook pancakes in a preheated pan or cast iron pan until brown to which you have added melted butter. If desired serve with syrup or even better bourbon syrup.
Chef's note: To make a bourbon syrup: In a saucepan bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Continue to boil without stirring until syrup thickens slightly and surface is shiny. Pour syrup into a serving bowl, and stir in pecans. Stir in Bourbon and vanilla. Keep warm.
