Pancake Old Fashioned

An Old Fashioned recipe that’s as American as, well, pancakes and maple syrup. American pancakes are infused into Woodford Reserve Bourbon then stirred down with a dash or two of orange bitters and Jake’s maple syrup. Served with a handful of pecans on the side to complete the experience.

Jake’s Maple Syrup replaces the sugar in a classic Old Fashioned delivering a more complex flavour profile. The delicious cereal notes of the pancakes complement the grains in the whisky, delivering a soft, almost creamy
finish.

Add all ingredients to a mixing jug and fill with ice. (See the Woodfords Reserve Pancake recipe below if you haven’t already.)
2
Stir together with ice and then strain into an Old Fashioned glass.
3
Fill with ice and finish with a twist of orange, serve pecans in a small bowl on the side.

For the Pancake Infused Woodford Reserve

You will need 300ml (3 parts) of Woodfords Reserve and 100g (1 part) pancakes.

To Make it:

Add Woodford Reserve and ripped up pancakes to a bowl, place a lid on and put in the fridge.

Steep for 24 hours.

Tip the contents out into a sieve with a fresh bowl be low, then press the pancakes to extract all the whisky.

Take a sterile bottle, add a funnel lined with a coffee filter and pass the whisky through it to perform finer filtration. You will likely have to replace the coffee filter as it becomes blocked. How many times you need to do this will depend on how much whisky you need to filter.
