Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels plus more for topping
  • 1 ¼ cups stout
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp stout

Instructions

Pretzel Stout Pancakes

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix in crushed pretzels.
  • In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together stout, melted butter, egg, and vanilla (if you want less of a stout flavor, use ½ buttermilk and ½ stout here).
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until they’re just combined, but taking care not to over mix.
  • Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat and pour about ¼ cup batter onto it. Cook pancakes for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until they’re nicely browned and cooked through. Repeat with all batter.
  • Serve stacks of pancakes with toffee sauce poured over them. Sprinkle additional crushed pretzels and toffee pieces on top if desired.

Toffee Sauce

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and brown sugar and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, stir in heavy cream and stout and simmer mixture for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until it begins to thicken.
  • Remove from heat and stir in salt and vanilla.
  • Add in toffee pieces for additional flavor (toffee pieces can also be used to top pancakes
