Aunt Jemima® Butter Pecan Waffles with Bourbon Syrup

1. Prepare Browned Butter; set aside
2. Place pancake mix in large bowl. Add milk, egg and Browned Butter-pecan mixture. Stir until large clumps of batter disappear. If batter seems too thick, add additional milk one tablespoon at a time to reach desired thickness. Let batter stand 4 to 5 minutes before cooking.
3. Pour batter into lightly greased waffle iron. Bake until steam stops or as directed by waffle iron manufacturer. Serve with Bourbon Syrup or Aunt Jemima® Syrup. Top with toasted pecans, if desired.

Browned Butter: Place 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in small skillet over low heat. (If possible, use a light colored skillet to better determine the level of browning.) Increase to medium-low heat, stirring butter with heat proof spatula. Cook and stir until butter takes on desired brown color. Watch carefully; browning can happen fast. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans. Note: 2 tablespoons melted butter can be used in place of browned butter.

Bourbon Syrup: For each 1/2 cup of Aunt Jemima® Syrup, stir in 2 to 3 teaspoons bourbon. Heat over low heat if warm syrup is desired.
