Equipment

Ingredients

2 eggs
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 ¼ cups milk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 ½ cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons baking powder
½ cup butterscotch chips
½ cup butterscotch syrup
whipped cream optional

Instructions

In a large bowl, break the eggs, and beat them with a whisk until they're light lemon yellow, and fluffy.
2 eggs
Add sugar to the eggs and whisk until light and fluffy.
3 Tablespoons sugar
Next, add milk and oil, whisk until eggs, sugar, oil, and milk are completely incorporated.
2 ¼ cups milk, 3/4 cup vegetable oil
Add the flour, salt and baking powder and whisk these ingredients together until evenly blended. The batter may be a little lumpy and that is perfectly okay.
2 ½ cups flour, 2 Tablespoons baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt
Then add butterscotch chips and butterscotch syrup to the wet ingredients, swirling it through until it is evenly mixed. Let the pancake batter rest for a few minutes.
½ cup butterscotch chips, ½ cup butterscotch syrup
Heat an electric griddle or skillet to medium heat until butter melts and sizzles. Drop the batter for the pancakes with either a ladle, or a half cup measuring scoop. Heat until the edges begin to have small air bubbles and the pancake is nice and brown.
Using a thin spatula or pancake flipper, flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Remove from heat and transfer them to a plate to serve.
Top your stack of pancakes with whipped cream, syrup, and extra butterscotch syrup.

Notes

We used regular granulated sugar, but you can substitute half brown sugar and half white sugar for a richer flavor. You can also swap out the regular sugar for your favorite sugar substitute like Monk Fruit or Swerve (just check the conversion ratio on the package).
