Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a griddle.
In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
Slowly mix in egg, milk, peanut butter and oil until combined.
Add a little extra milk if batter feels too thick.
Let mixture sit 5 minutes.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter on griddle and move around to coat entire griddle.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake on griddle to form 5-inch pancakes. The batter spreads as it cooks.
Fill griddle without crowding pancakes.
Flip when air pockets start to pop on the top and a quick peak on the underside reveals a golden pancake.
Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
Serve pancakes with Blackberry Syrup.
