light and sweet, but lacking, Member hotcakes1979

I thought they had just the right amount of sweetness and they were light in texture. However, I think they could use an extra half cup of chopped pecans. Also an extra quarter teaspoon of salt (if using unsalted butter) and an extra quarter teaspoon of ground nutmeg would help.
