1

In a large bowl, mix flour with chopped pecans.

2

Add pecan extract and stir.

Add eggs and stir until well combined.

4

Add 2 cups of milk, and if needed, add an additional 1/4 cup to achieve a thinner batter.

Stir until the batter is well combined and has a runny consistency with some lumps from the pecans.

6

Heat plenty of vegetable oil in a large skillet to 325°F.

7

Dip a mold in the hot oil for about 12 seconds, then remove and tap to remove excess oil.

8

Lightly dip the mold into the batter to cover the bottom and sides, ensuring it doesn't go over the top of the mold.

9

Transfer the mold to the hot oil to fry for about 30 seconds.

10

Remove the pancake from the mold, flipping it to cook for another 30 seconds until crisp.

11

Sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon after removing from the oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
