Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup fresh cherries, pitted and chopped

For the Cherry Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the Graham Cracker Crumble:

  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped cherries.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  7. To make the cherry sauce, combine the cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries break down and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar to make the crumble.
  9. Serve the pancakes topped with the cherry sauce and sprinkled with the graham cracker crumble.

Note: You can serve the pancakes with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting for an extra touch of cheesecake flavor. Enjoy!
