  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped) Provides unique earthy aroma.
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped) Adds a fragrant herbal note.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the griddle to medium-high heat (about 350°F).
  • In a food processor, pulse half of the sliced peaches for a few seconds, leaving some larger pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together processed peaches, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Add buttermilk to the bowl and mix in dry ingredients until a thick, pourable batter forms.

Cooking

  • Pour a generous 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle.
  • After cooking briefly, place 2-3 reserved peach slices onto the batter.
  • Cook until bubbles rise to the surface and the bottom is golden brown, then flip.
  • Cook until the second side is golden, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove pancakes onto an oven-safe plate and keep warm in a preheated oven at 170°F while cooking the rest.

Serving

  • Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat.
  • Add remaining peaches, sugar, molasses, vanilla, and honey, stirring to combine.
  • Cook until peaches soften; sprinkle in chopped herbs.
  • Stack pancakes on a plate and top with warm peach sauce.
  • Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

For best results, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to enhance fluffiness. Use ripe peaches for optimal sweetness.
