- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- For the Pancakes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- For Serving:

Directions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the spice rub for the pulled pork.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Using two forks, shred the pork into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In a saucepan, heat the barbecue sauce over low heat until warm.
- Add the shredded pork to the warm barbecue sauce and stir until well-coated. Keep warm.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the pancakes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are lumps.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter to make a stack of fluffy pancakes.
- To serve, place a stack of pancakes on a plate and top with a generous portion of the pulled pork. Drizzle with additional barbecue sauce and serve with coleslaw on the side.
- Enjoy your delicious Pulled Pork Pancakes!
