Breakfast and a Movie? Try Buttered Popcorn Pancakes

A few weeks ago I was enjoying a late-night marathon of Mind of a Chef (when I definitely should've been sleeping), and fell instantly in love with the buttered popcorn grits made by Chef Daniel Patterson. As a person who has popcorn for dinner more than I'd like to admit, it was definitely a mind-blowing moment for me, and I couldn't wait to experiment with the idea of adding buttered popcorn to everything. If you consume it straight, it tastes like buttered popcorn, but as you add it things like milkshakes (I did this) and pancakes, the flavor becomes a bit more subtle.
In place of buttermilk or milk, the popcorn liquid is used and it works beautiful when incorporated into pancakes. The result is a deliciously tender pancake, perfectly fluffy and with the flavor of buttered popcorn. I usually steer clear of garnishing with what's inside of the dish but more popcorn on top adds an awesome crunchy texture. These pancakes work well on their own (I personally love just butter on top) but of course you can add maple syrup, too.
