Pistachio Pancakes with Pistachio Butter.

You guyssssszzzz.

Pistachio pancakes. Freaking pistachio pancakes! Why haven’t I done this yet and why am I not eating them at this exact moment, like every minute for the rest of my life?

This whole thing started because I just wanted to make some pistachio butter. Not pistachio nut butter (though I did that once back on the blog in 2009 if you want to search and be horrified and disown me forever), but pistachios ground and swirled into sweet cream butter.

YES. Real butter with ground pistachios. I mean, it’s practically pistachio ice cream in butter. Or something like that.

I did this once before. I used it on fish. It was fantastic!

Why do I make fantastic things and forget about them?

Thank you internet I love you forever.

So for these pancakes, I also ground up pistachios and swirled them into the dry ingredients. OH MY GOSH. If you’re a pistachio freak (nut? so punny… ), you might just lose your mind. These pancakes themselves are not only an excellent vehicle for the butter and syrup, but they are incredible when spread with almond butter and rolled up and eaten on the go.

I die. You must try it.

The only thing that might rival these pancakes is my breakfast this morning. I am insanely excited because I’m in Aurora, New York visiting the Mackenzie Childs headquarters this week (check out my Instagram stories and snapchat!!) and guess what?

Delicious, soft and WARM muffins delivered to my door along with hot coffee and cream.

Oh hi, I’m never leaving.

Other than that though, nothing beats these pancakes. Know why else?

Brown butter. Plus vanilla. In your MAPLE SYRUP.

I don’t even know how something delicious is allowed to exist. This is my love language.
