Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the diced peaches. Do not overmix.
4. Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
6. While the pancakes cook, melt the butter in a small skillet. Add the brown sugar, sliced peaches, cinnamon, and vanilla. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and lightly caramelized.
7. Stack the warm pancakes on serving plates and spoon the caramelized peach topping over each stack.
8. Finish with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
Tips
– Use ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor.
– Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
